From the specification: White solely from Vardea; red and rosé from Vertzami and Merlot. No minimum natural alcohol is stated.

White and rosé ferment at no more than 20 °C; sweetening permitted for off-dry and medium wines; wine may be made in wineries in neighbouring prefectures. Sugar maxima carry footnotes referring to EU labelling rules.
