Camarro
Wine · PGI · 1 municipality
Established in 1999 within the Sicilian municipality of Partanna, the Camarro IGT stands out from neighbouring designations through its uncommonly strict labeling restrictions. While most regional geographic indications permit a broad spectrum of local grape varieties to adorn the label, Camarro restricts varietal labeling exclusively to Ansonica and Sangiovese, requiring a minimum of 85% of the designated grape. This highly specific rule defines the identity of its white, red, and rosato wines. Cultivated with a maximum yield of 17.0 tonnes per hectare for white styles, these wines must reach at least 10.0% minimum alcohol, offering a focused snapshot of Partanna's specific viticultural constraints.
