The Tuscan region of Maremma has been given the green light to list two varieties on labels in addition to other modifications to the DOCâs production specifications.
The region was given official approval by the European Union at the end of last year, having applied for the changes in 2016.
The most notable change is that Maremma wines can now list two varieties on the label but there have also been modifications made to the permitted blends and varieties used as well.
Henceforth, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Ciliegiolo can be used either to make varietal wines or as a minimum 60% of a blend.
