Worked out from the boundaries (smallest container first). They follow whole communes, so a neighbour sharing a commune can show up here too.

Boundary drawn from whole communes, so it is a little larger than the legal zone. Boundary: Eurac Research PDO inventory (CC0). Country outlines: Natural Earth. Dots on the zone map are the vineyard points used for climate.

Showing every colour The colour filter changes the rules and grapes. Climate, vintages and soils describe the vineyards, so they stay the same.

Copernicus ERA5-Land monthly averages at 5 vineyard points (Vineyard point 1, 251 m; Vineyard point 2, 511 m; Vineyard point 3, 438 m; Vineyard point 4, 563 m; Vineyard point 5, 258 m), moved to each point's height from the model's terrain. Indices that need daily data are not captured yet. How the climate figures are made.

Lower confidence:Monthly reanalysis in complex terrain (height corrections up to 6.1 °C); absolute values may be several degrees out, year-to-year changes are more reliable.

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: Vinification may take place anywhere in Piedmont. Minimum density 3,300 vines/ha applies in Alessandria, Asti and Cuneo; 2,500/ha in Biella, Novara, Turin, Vercelli and VCO (pergola exempt). Spumanti may be made by tank or bottle fermentation, so sparkling_method is null. Passito wines exist in up to three categories (vino, uve appassite, uve stramature) with different alcohol and extract minima; values given are for the 'vino' category (or 'uve appassite' for Moscato and Brachetto passito, which have no 'vino' category); grapes must reach 13%/16%/15% natural alcohol after drying and enrichment is not allowed. Art. 6 gives Bonarda an 11% 'naturale' minimum (probably meant as total), left out. 'Chardonnay Rosato Spumante' is mapped to the Chardonnay-Pinot spumante rosato rules. Many still wines range from dry to abboccato/amabile, so sweetness is mostly null.
