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: Superiore and riserva wines need natural and total alcohol at least 1% above the type's minimum, so their total alcohol is left null (not written as a figure). The 24-month riserva ageing applies to varietal wines; no ageing is stated for Bianco or Rosso riserva, and Passito grapes are not specified. Spumante cuvées come from Chardonnay, Pinot bianco and/or Pinot nero (other non-aromatic whites up to 10%) and are sold brut, extra brut or demi sec; vinification is also allowed anywhere in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
