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.

Generated from EU reference data: check against the current product specification.
From the specification: Subzone rules (Cialla, Ribolla Gialla di Rosazzo, Pignolo di Rosazzo, Schioppettino di Prepotto, Refosco di Faedis, Savorgnano) come from the annexes of the full text; 'Refosco' is reserved for the Refosco di Faedis subzone so both register names share its rules. The register name 'Friulano Traminer Aromatico' looks like two varieties merged, so it carries only the shared values and no grape rule; Friulano, Traminer Aromatico, Bianco, Pinot Grigio Ramato and Savorgnano (+Riserva) were added as the text governs them. Subzones raise vine density (Schioppettino di Prepotto 4,500/ha, Refosco di Faedis 4,000/ha); Savorgnano allows no enrichment or drying and its Picolit yield is 4 t/ha. Verduzzo may be dry, amabile or dolce.
