Same area as its administrative region; the boundary is the region's outline.
From the specification: Varietal wines (also frizzante) take the limits of the matching colour; two-variety wines must come only from the two named varieties, each over 15%. Vinification is also allowed in the Province of Viterbo and the commune of Montepulciano. Aromatic grapes for passito may be lightly dried. Natural alcohol may be lowered by 0.5% vol in poor years.
