Worked out from the boundaries (smallest container first). Uses the delimited parcels where INAO publishes them.
The delimited vineyard parcels themselves, so the shape is patchy: only land within them may grow the wine. Boundary: INAO parcel delimitation (Licence Ouverte); nearby parcels drawn as one block, with less detail for larger appellations. Country outlines: Natural Earth. Dots on the zone map are the vineyard points used for climate.

Copernicus ERA5-Land monthly averages at 5 vineyard points (Vineyard point 1, 105 m; Vineyard point 2, 117 m; Vineyard point 3, 116 m; Vineyard point 4, 114 m; Vineyard point 5, 121 m), moved to each point's height from the model's terrain.

Closest climates in the database
Picked by the data, not by hand: the profiles nearest on season warmth (counted twice), degree days, rain, ripening-month nights and day–night range. Neighbours within 30 km are left out, as they share the same weather.

Seasons are labelled by harvest year (April–October). Year-to-year changes from ERA5-Land; tested against station records in Alto Adige (r = 0.94 for season temperature at Bolzano). Rain varies more locally, so treat single-season rain with some caution. Vintage ratings, harvest dates and frost or hail events have places in the data model but are not loaded yet.

Still to check (3)
- Generated from EU reference data: check against the current product specification.
- From the specification: White still wines from chenin only. The text sets separate ripeness rules for dry wines and for wines with more than 12 g/l sugars, so the second is a separate product (no sweetness term given). Enrichment is prohibited only for the wines above 12 g/l; dry wines may be enriched up to 12.5% total alcohol. Total acidity may not be more than 2 g/l below sugar content for dry wines.
