The vineyards cover about 280 hectares. In 2014 there were extensive changes with many new varieties and types of wine. In addition, the Bonera and Feudo dei Fiori subzones were abandoned.

The pure white wines (some of which are also available as Superiore and Spumante) must be made from at least 85% of the respective variety as well as other approved varieties (max. 15%). These are Ansonica(Inzolia), Catarratto Bianco Lucido, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Damaschino, Fiano, Grecanico(Garganega), Grillo, Moscato Bianco(Muscat Blanc), Pinot Grigio(Pinot Gris), Sauvignon(Sauvignon Blanc), Vermentino and Viognier.
