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: Pietraviva and Pratomagno subzones (Annexes A and B) have their own grape mixes, lower yields and characteristics; base-text release dates are applied to subzone wines since the annexes defer to the main rules. Riserva (24 months incl. 6 in wood from 1 November) is allowed for base Rosso, Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon and for subzone Rosso (added as extra products). Spumante sweetness ranges extra brut to demi-sec and no method is stated; sweetening is prohibited for all wines; Passito/Vendemmia Tardiva natural alcohol is measured after drying.
