Label Issue(s) - missing DOC?

Just received a shipment of Valentini from an online retailer I’ve never purchased from. Aside from being a bit grumpy these were shipped in early September without any notice, I was perplexed when I realized the bottles were missing DOC labels (and back/importing labels for that matter), had questionable capsule conditions (see below), and general discrepancies from other Valentini bottles purchased from another retailer.

Including a side-by-side below - how concerned should I be? I wouldn’t think there should be any bottles missing DOC labeling, in particular, even if other discrepancies may be explained somehow…?

Hadn’t noticed the T being included in the regular text “Trebbiano” or not before. My history shows both, though it was an older one ('02) which had the “rebbiano” bit only and newer ones ('11, '15) which had full “Trebbiano”.

Can’t speak to the missing ribbon bit. My pics seemed to be on the labels so can’t see that part…

Interesting - I missed that too! Wondering if the discrepancies may be between export vs. domestic bottlings. Bottle on left in the pic is 2018, right is 2016.
