  • Boundary not captured yet (PGIs are not in the Eurac boundary data).
  • From the specification: Arkadia PGI: Arkadia prefecture above 50 m. Varieties may be used in any proportion. The grape yield is written as 'fourteen thousand (12.000) kg'; the lower figure in digits, 12 t/ha, is recorded. Semi-sparkling white and rosé wines keep endogenous CO2 (traditional local technique). Sweetening is permitted for semi-dry, medium-sweet and sweet wines; wines may be made in wineries in the prefecture or neighbouring prefectures. The yield is written 'fourteen thousand (12.000)' kg/ha: the words and the figure disagree, so no yield is recorded.
