4.3

Geographical area: The production zone is 72 municipalities forming part of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (Alto Adige/Südtirol).

| 4.4 | Proof of origin: As long ago as the Middle Ages, various apple and pear varieties were widely grown on the mountain farms of the Alto Adige for the use of the family living on the farm itself. From the middle of the 19th century fruit growing became a flourishing commercial activity, with purchasers in Vienna, Innsbruck, Munich, Warsaw and St. Petersburg. This period saw the launching of modern fruit cultivation in the Alto Adige. In 1831 a schoolteacher, Johann Jakob Pöll, published the first manual on fruit growing and in 1872 the newly established San Michele all'Adige Agricultural Institute introduced it as a specific subject in the teaching curriculum. A nursery list of the Bolzano Agricultural Association of 1856 mentions no fewer than 193 varieties of cultivable apple. The most important historical work on fruit and vegetable growing in the Alto Adige of 1894 and 1904 by Karl Mader recognises almost 40 varieties as very widespread in the entire Alto Adige area.
  Agricultural holdings suitable for production of the PGI apples are entered on a register run by the supervising organisation. Product identification and traceability is guaranteed by identifying each lot of apples in a register as it enters the market preparation centre and maintaining producer identification as they are accepted, moved within the centre and temporarily stored, up to the sizing and/or grading stage. |

4.5

Method of production: The method of production must be fully in line with the rules supplied to the European Union. The handling structures (market preparation centres) must be located in the Alto Adige.

| 4.6 | Link: The climate of the Alto Adige is highly favourable for apple cultivation, with more than 300 days of sun a year. In late summer and autumn there are typical marked temperature changes between day and night that have a positive impact not only on the fruit's ‘internal quality’, i.e. its sugar and vitamin content, but more especially on its ‘external quality’ through development of attractive red and yellow colouring and virtual absence of rust.
  During the day the temperature can reach 30o C and during the night fall to 8-10o C. The conjunction of high hours of sunshine, cold nights and low rainfall owing to the mountain chains to the north ensures fruit of particularly pronounced flavour and colour. The height of the orchards, from 200 to 1 100 m above sea level, and the light, well aerated soils guarantee a strong fragrance and solid flesh and hence a high keeping quality. Most production comes from holdings located above the 500 m contour. The extraordinarily fertile soils are light, well drained and oxygen-rich with average or high humus content.
  The apple production chain at present involves 8 000 growers, mainly associated in cooperatives, 2 500 employees in the market preparation centres and 12 000 fruit-pickers. |
