Changes have been made to the yield of certain wine-making varieties Certain wine-making varieties covered by the specification have the potential to produce higher yields under this controlled designation of origin, and it is therefore necessary to modify the yields, increasing them for the varieties Crâmpoșie selecționată, Negru de Drăgășani and Pinot gris. The section ‘Maximum yields’ of the single document and the Chapter IV of the specification relating to wine-growing and wine production are amended. 2.2.

These municipalities have resulted from an administrative redivision at county level, and vineyards in the possession of owners (having reclaimed ownership from the Communist regime) are located in them. The section ‘Demarcated geographical area’ of the single document and the Chapter III(3) of the specification relating to the demarcated area of production is amended. 2.3. Supplement concerning the link with the geographical area The Chapter II of the specification and the section ‘Link with the geographical area’ of the single document are amended to describe the human factors relevant to the link in order to complete that information and justify the use of the designation of origin.
