The wine must be made from at least 95% Vermentino, up to a maximum of 5% other authorised varieties. There are also the wine types Superiore (with higher alcohol content), Frizzante, Spumante, Spumante Metodo classico (with bottle fermentation), Passito and Vendemmia tardiva (late harvest). Another wine from this variety is Vermentino di Sardegna.
