Still to check (3)

Boundary not captured yet (PGIs are not in the Eurac boundary data).
From the specification: Also named "del Frusinate". Passito grapes are dried (ventilated air allowed early on) until they reach at least 272 g/l sugar. Red varietals may also be frizzante or novello; labels may name 2 or 3 of the listed varieties if the wine comes only from them. Wines of at least 12% vol may be presented as "Vino della Ciociaria". Some listed varieties (Olivella, Lecinaro, Pampanaro...) are grouped here by colour without the text stating it.
