In sparkling wine
Verdiso is one of the traditional complementary varieties of the Prosecco area. It never leads the blend: the rules require Glera as the base and cap the minor varieties at 15% together.
| Appellation | Rule |
|---|---|
| Prosecco DOC | with other listed varieties, up to 15% together; Glera at least 85% |
| Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG | with Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera and Glera Lunga, up to 15% |
| Asolo Prosecco DOCG | with Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera and Glera Lunga, up to 15% |

The same 15% share is open to Bianchetta Trevigiana and Perera, so the rules set no separate minimum or maximum for Verdiso alone.
