A maximum of 15% of similarly-coloured grapes originating from other grape varieties suitable for cultivation in the concerned area can be used, pure or combined, to produce the above-mentioned musts and wines. The Camarro PGI with two grape variety specifications is reserved for wines (including semi-sparkling) obtained from grapes originating from vineyards on the producer’s land made up of the corresponding varieties, on the condition that the wine derives exclusively from the specified grapes, and that the quantity of grapes produced by each of the two varieties is higher than 15% of the total. The specification of the grape varieties must appear on the label in descending order with respect to the actual percentage of grapes obtained from them. Camarro PGI wines with grape variety specification must display the organoleptic properties of the specified grape variety, as well as the specific characteristics indicated for wines of the same colour.
