Italian word

denominare

to name, to call, to designate

Looks like

to denominate

to call by a name; (finance) to express in a currency

⚠️ The trap

Good match for naming. But in Italian 'denominazione di origine controllata' (DOC) is common for wine labelling. The noun 'denominazione' = denomination/name — don't confuse with 'denominazione religiosa' (religious denomination).

To say "to call by a name; (finance) to express in a currency" in Italian:

denominare

"denominare" in English means:

to name, to call, to designate

Example

"Come viene denominata questa malattia?"

"What is this disease called/named?"
