In fact, the DOCG rules prove their worth in all cases in which audit procedures show the precise ratio of bottles to output of grapes and wine.
It is an error to seek reclassification to the DOCG level of a given wine that is linked in consumers'minds with a certain image and price with the hope of elevating its standing and securing a higher price.

For many consumers, the term DOCG is equivalent to the best wines of Italy, and when you consider Brunello di Montalcino, Taurasi, Barolo and Barbaresco, you would have to agree.
But for Italians, DOCG does not necessarily mean the finest wines in the country; rather the designation is thought of as a statement that these wines are the best they can be, given the grapes and locales used.
Years before the DOCG regulations were finalized, Anselmi saw that the members of the Soave Classico Consorzio were not committed to that way of thinking, so he dropped out.

The DOCGs are therefore the types of wine that have been around for a longer time, are well known and give that extra "Quality" guarantee to us wine drinkers.

 With the 2004 Harvest, Roero Becomes DOCG from Italian Wine Merchants
A national committee has approved DOCG recognition for Roero, almost covering the range of Nebbiolo-based DOCG wines (with an allowance for up to 5% Arneis) from Albese in Piemonte.
According to the State Undersecretary for Agricultural and Forestry Policies, the Roero DOCG designation is an important step that reflects the tenacity of a territory and its wine growers, and it helps create an image of Italian vitiviniculture that is increasingly focused on quality.
The President of the Enoteca del Piemonte explained that above all else, the passage from DOC to DOCG status rewards Nebbiolo, one of the native varietals that is most representative of Piemonte and which is now the base of five of the region’s eight DOCG wines.
