AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation officially cancels the registration of 'Valtènesi' as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for wine from the Lombardy region of Italy. The cancellation was requested by Italy itself and published for opposition in September 2025. No objections were received within the allowed period. As a result, the name 'Valtènesi' is removed from the Union register of geographical indications and can no longer be used as a PDO on product labels or marketing materials.
