  • Boundary not captured yet (PGIs are not in the Eurac boundary data).
  • From the specification: All classified wine-grape varieties are allowed; the main ones are 17 for red and rosé (abouriou N, alicante Henri Bouschet N…) and 16 for white (arriloba B, baroque B…). The rules for sparkling wines (rosé and white, 9.5% minimum) were annulled by the Conseil d'État on 2 March 2015, so no sparkling product is recorded. The 60 hl/ha yield also covers unenriched whites from overripe or nobly rotten grapes (total alcohol 15–20%). Mentions: grape names, primeur/nouveau (still wines).
