Italian term or phrase: titolo alcolometrico volumico effettivo
Salve,
in un disciplinare relativo a vini IGT non mi è chiaro cosa si intende per titolo alcolometrico effettivo in questo contesto:
"colore: giallo dorato tendente all'ambrato; odore: delicatamente profumato;
sapore:gradevolmente amabile о dolce, caldo, vellutato, talvolta leggermente brioso; titolo alcolometrico volumico totale minimo: 16% vol di cui almeno 12% vol effettivo; acidità totale minima: 4,5 g/l; estratto non riduttore minimo: 18 g/l".

actual alcoholic strength by volume
Explanation:

The labelling of beverages containing more than 1.2 % by volume of alcohol must indicate the actual alcoholic strength by volume.

L’etichettatura delle bevande con contenuto alcolico superiore all’1,2 % in volume deve riportare l’indicazione del titolo alcolometrico volumico effettivo.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN-IT/TXT/?uri=LEGIS...

The actual alcoholic strength by volume should be given(as determined when the product is at 20°C). For most products, the figure must be given to not more than one decimal place and be followed by '% vol.'.

Total potential alcohol by volume


Explanation:
Total potential alcohol by volume: the degrees of alcohol that would be produced if all the unconverted sugar in a sweet (dolce) or semi-sweet (amabile) wine was fermented out. So this wine should be minimum 12 degrees actual alcohol with residual sugar for a potential further 4 degrees.

neutral  philgoddard: I don't see how "effettivo" can be "potential".

  -> "Effettivo" relates to actual alcohol - my mistake. The total alcohol ("titolo alcolometrico volumico totale minimo") includes actual and potential alcohol.
