 The names of the subregions may be indicated on the label together with the name Alentejo, for example as Alentejo-Borba.These subregions were initially created as separate "Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada" (IPR) wine regions, after which some were elevated to DOC status.In 2003, these separate DOCs and IPRs were put together as the Alentejo DOC.
