Guide to Maps

Enologik maps are tools designed to discover and appreciate wine diversity starting from the territory. Each wine map shows at a glance our selection of wines for each region, from wine areas to individual vineyards. These are topographic maps that show the most relevant information for wine production, such as vineyard exposure, altitude and latitude, soil composition, proximity to water bodies and climate indices.

Wine Macroregion

Macroregions are extensive territories, defined based on historical, cultural, topographic and oenological characteristics.

Distribution of wine areas

The colored portions on the map correspond to the individual wine areas belonging to the macroregion.

Metric scale

Allows better understanding of the extension of wine areas and the macroregion as a whole.

45,1° N43,8° N

Latitude

Latitude is essential data, as it determines the main climatic characteristics of the macroregion.

Wine Area

Wine areas are territories ranging between 1000 and 1400 km² approximately, with more homogeneous characteristics compared to those of the macroregion.

Microareas

The colored portions on the map correspond to the individual wine microareas belonging to the wine area.

Elevation scale

Through the use of colors, the map highlights the altitude, which affects the characteristics of the grape and therefore the wine.

mm/d

Climate indices

The climate indices show for each area the number of rainy days, the average daily rainfall and temperatures according to the Huglin index.

Wine Microarea

Microareas are portions of territory of 57 km². They show contour lines, soil composition, and the arrangement of individual vineyards for a specific portion of a wine area.

Vineyard distribution

The shapes solid and dashed indicate the exact or approximate position of individual vineyards or wineries.

Soil composition

The detail level of the microarea allows to appreciate the soil composition, which contributes to determining the grape characteristics.

Contour lines

Contour lines allow to appreciate the elevation position of vineyards shown on the map, with greater precision compared to elevation scales.

Wine Diversity

The variability of wines produced within a specific wine area.

Definition

Proximity to Water Bodies

The presence of water bodies (rivers, seas, lakes, etc.) influences the microclimate, causing variations in grape production even between vineyards belonging to the same microarea.

Definition

Rainy Days

The number of rainy days is the number of days, between April 1 and November 30, in which the total amount of rainfall exceeded 1mm. The value reported in the table is the average for the period 2000 - 2019

Definition

Daily Rainfall

The number of mm/day indicates the average daily rainfall, for each day between April 1 and November 30, where the total amount of rainfall exceeded 1mm. The value reported in the table is the average for the period 2000 - 2019.

Definition

Huglin Index

The Huglin index is an annual climate index commonly used in viticulture, calculated based on latitude and the average and maximum daily temperatures between April 1 and September 30. Optimal values for viticulture range between 1500 and 2400. Values close to or below 1500 indicate particularly harsh climates, while values close to or above 2400 indicate particularly warm climates. The value reported in the table has been specifically calculated for the area represented by the map, and is the average for the period 2000 - 2019.

Vineyard Shapes

The solid outline ellipse indicates the exact position and extent of a single vineyard, or a group of vineyards.

The dashed outline ellipse (long dashes) indicates the approximate position of a vineyard, or an approximate area within which multiple vineyards are located.

The dashed outline square (short dashes) indicates the position of a winery. In this case, it was not possible to indicate the position of the vineyards because the producer does not provide information about them, or the vineyards are distributed within a larger area than shown on the map.
