Italian to English translations [PRO]
Wine / Oenology / Viticulture | | Italian term or phrase: pochi calibrati interventi | | This refers to the process of vinification in an Italian vineyard. The ethos of this particular vineyard is that most of the work takes place in the vineyard itself leaving the bare minimum to be done in the cantina, hence the pochi interventi needed so as not to damage or alter in any way the work that has gone on before. It is for a website. |

| | limited (, judicious) intervention | Explanation:
I'd keep it simple. Might help to see the Italian context, though. As you said, it's a question of keeping intervention in the winery to a minimum. If you really want to put in the idea of "calibrati", judicious would cover it |

Explanation:
penso che "measured" sia meglio di "calibrated" perché oltre all'aspetto della misurazione contiene in sé anche un valore di cura, attenzione

Asker: Thanks very much for your answer. Plumped for 'judicious' in the end as it fitted the overall tone of the piece better.
