Italian term or phrase: territorialità
Tipologia testuale : scheda descrittiva di una azienda vinicola

Contesto linguistico : "Gli elementi che caratterizzano la produzione dal 1960 sono sempre stati la qualità e la **territorialità**. "

My solutions would be 'territory-specific character' or the more technical french 'gout de terroir' but I'm not sure.

Experts in the field are welcome !!!

terroir


Explanation:
You may use the French "terroir" here, which I have often seen in English tests - both books and articles.

but, just the word "terroir", not the phrase "gout de terroir", which would entail a trip to the dico for many English speakers

which I have often seen in English TEXTS, not tests...certain it pops up in an exam or two however!
