  • Boundary not captured yet (PGIs are not in the Eurac boundary data).
  • From the specification: Landwein (PGI). Varieties: long white list (Albalonga, Arnsburger, Auxerrois, Weißer Riesling...) and red/rosé list (Acolon, Blauer Spätburgunder, Dornfelder, Regent...) without shares. Residual sugar may not exceed the maximum for 'halbtrocken' (12 g/l, or 18 g/l where total acidity is no more than 10 g/l below the sugar), so only dry and medium-dry wines qualify; this is not recorded as a single figure. Sweetening is allowed only with German grape must. Mixing red- and white-grape products is not allowed except for Rotling.
