Still to check (2)
- Decree covers 'the comunas of Ñuble province plus Florida'; the full Ñuble comuna list wasn't transcribed, so this is approximated as the union of its own áreas, which may not be a complete, exact match for the subregión's real extent.
- Chilean wine law has real compositional rules (varietal minimum percentages, Reserva/Gran Reserva-style aging terms) but none are sourced with a citation yet -- production_rules starts empty rather than filled from general recollection, per the "every value needs a source" rule.
