The new guidelines followed to redefine the appellation were, on the one hand, based on the history of a deeply rooted product with a strong identity and, on the other, they have removed obsolete parts.

The ampelography of the Garda Doc speci-fications has remained the one traditionally related to the Doc productions of the entire area, which starts from the Soave Doc wines up to the Valtenesi Doc wines and includes 10 historical appellations of this area.

Spumante wine (even made with a blend of grapes) is the core type of wine of the appel-lation and is the common denominator that unites the seven million bottles produced in this area under various names.
