25
climatic challenges of Central Otago?
but spring frosts, cool climate makes it hard to ripen sometimes ; and drought
26
2-3 factors that affect climate of Central Otago?
inland from coast, higher altitude makes for more cool continental climate; southern alps shield from rain but allow for warm dry nor'wester wind. northfacing slopes capitalixe on sunlight to warm vines.

32
alto adige elevation?
200-1000m but 350-550 best to avoid frost & optimize ripeness
33
climate of friuli?
mediterranean but...
34
Factors that affect climate in friuli?
meeting of mountain and sea, rain and wind. From one side of Monte Quarin in Cormons, the glimmer of the Adriatic Sea is visible, while the other side reveals snowcapped Julian Alps. The warm, humid winds from the sea are balanced by the Alps’ dry, cool tramontana wind.
