Emporio Enologico Albese Srl Strada Porini, 1/b 12050 Guarene; VAT IT01970770044 is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the principles of equality, inclusion, and non-discrimination set out in Legislative Decree no. 82 of 27 May 2022.
This accessibility statement applies to the website https://www.emporioenologico.com/en/ and aims to provide a clear and transparent overview of the accessibility level of the digital service, highlighting any issues and planned improvements to ensure continuous enhancement.
This document is drawn up pursuant to Annex IV of Legislative Decree no. 82 of 27 May 2022, which implements Directive (EU) 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements for products and services.
The assessment is carried out according to the criteria set by the technical standard UNI CEI EN 301549:2020, which incorporates the WCAG 2.1 guidelines (levels A and AA).
For each requirement, it is specified whether the website is compliant, non-compliant, partially compliant, or not applicable.
The areas analyzed concern the four fundamental principles of accessibility: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
This document reports, for each accessibility requirement, the compliance status of the website and, where necessary, relevant explanations.
Where a requirement is not fully met or is only partially satisfied, specific information is provided to help users understand the nature of the issue.
The website is committed to taking progressive steps to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements.
PERCEIVABLE
Information and user interface components must be presented in ways that can be perceived by all users, regardless of sensory abilities.
This means, for example, providing text descriptions for images, subtitles for videos, and organizing content in a way that facilitates reading and comprehension even with assistive technologies.
Text Alternatives
The Site provides alternative text for most non-text content. However, some images or graphic elements are still missing accessible descriptions. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.1.1 Non-text Content is only partially met.
Time-based Media
Some pre-recorded audio-only or video-only content on the Site is accompanied by transcripts or alternative descriptions, but not all. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Pre-recorded) is only partially met.
The prerecorded videos on the website are not accompanied by subtitles.
The videos on the Site are not accompanied by audio descriptions or equivalent alternative versions. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.2.5 Audio Description (Pre-recorded) is not met.
The pre-recorded videos on the Site do not include audio descriptions. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.2.3 Audio Description or Alternative for Prerecorded Video is not met.
The Site does not stream live audio or video content. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.2.4 Captions (Live) is not met as it is not applicable.
Adaptable
The Site uses semantic markup in many sections, but there are still areas that are not properly structured. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.3.1 Info and Relationships is only partially met.
The Site contains only linear and simple content, without complex structural elements requiring a specific reading sequence. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence is not met as it is not applicable.
The Site does not provide interaction instructions that refer to sensory characteristics such as shape, color, position, or sound. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics is not met as it is not applicable.
The Site supports both screen orientations, landscape and portrait. This allows users to access content regardless of how they hold their device, in compliance with WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.3.4 Orientation.
The input fields on the Site are semantically identified to clearly indicate their purpose. This allows users and assistive technologies to correctly understand and use forms, in compliance with WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose.
Distinguishable
Some information on the Site is conveyed solely through the use of color, without additional visual or textual indicators. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.1 Use of Color is not met.
The Site does not contain audio content that plays automatically when the page is loaded. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.2 Audio Control is not met as it is not applicable.
The contrast between text and background on the Site meets the minimum values required by WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum), ensuring clear and accessible reading for users with visual impairments.
The text on the Site can be enlarged up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, in accordance with WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.4 Resize Text.
The text on the Site is presented as real text and not as an image, in accordance with WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.5 Images of Text.
The content of the Site adjusts correctly to different screen sizes without requiring horizontal scrolling, ensuring accessibility even on mobile devices. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.10 Reflow is met.
The contrast between non-text graphical content and adjacent elements is generally sufficient on the Site. However, some elements do not fully meet the contrast requirements. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast is only partially met.
Text on the Site is displayed correctly even when users apply custom spacing settings, in accordance with WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.12 Text Spacing.
Most content triggered by hover or focus on the Site is accessible. However, certain interfaces present issues: in some sections, additional content is not fully accessible via keyboard or cannot be easily dismissed. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus is only partially met.
OPERABLE
The interface must be usable by everyone, including those who cannot use a mouse or traditional input devices.
It is essential to ensure access via keyboard, provide clear and stable navigation methods, avoid content that may cause disorientation or adverse reactions, and offer controls for any time limits.
Keyboard Accessible
WCAG 2.1 requirement 2.1.1 Keyboard is only partially met, as most of the Site is keyboard-navigable, but some sections include functionalities that are not fully accessible without a mouse.
Some sections of the website are keyboard-navigable, but others have traps or blocks.
The Site partially meets WCAG 2.1 requirement 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts. Some keyboard shortcuts may conflict with keyboard navigation or assistive technologies, limiting effective interaction in specific situations.
Enough Time
The Site does not include features that impose time limits for form completion, navigation, or interaction. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 2.2.1 regarding timing adjustable does not apply.
The Site contains moving, blinking, or automatically scrolling elements that cannot be paused, stopped, or hidden by the user. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 requirement 2.2.2 is not met.
The Site contains content that flashes more than three times per second. WCAG 2.1 requirement 2.3.1 is not satisfied.
Navigable
The Site does not provide functionality to skip repetitive blocks. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 criterion 2.4.1 is not satisfied.
Each page of the Site has a descriptive and consistent title that reflects its content. Therefore, WCAG 2.1 criterion 2.4.2 is met.
The keyboard focus follows a logical order on most pages of the Site. However, in some sections the focus path is inconsistent or unintuitive, making navigation more difficult for users relying on assistive technologies. Therefore, the requirement of WCAG 2.1 criterion 2.4.3 is only partially met.
Most of the links on the Site have a clear and understandable purpose, even when read out of context. However, some links use generic or non-descriptive text (e.g., "click here") that does not provide sufficient information about the destination or function of the link. Therefore, the requirement under WCAG 2.4.4 (Link Purpose - In Context) is only partially met.
The Site offers multiple ways to access information. The requirement under WCAG 2.4.5 (Multiple Ways) is satisfied.
The headings and labels on the Site are structured to clearly describe the content or purpose of the related elements. Therefore, the requirement under WCAG 2.4.6 (Headings and Labels) is met.
The keyboard focus is not clearly highlighted during navigation. Users navigating with a keyboard may have difficulty identifying the active element. The Site does not comply with WCAG criterion 2.4.7 (Focus Visible).
Input Modalities
Some functionalities on the Site require complex pointer gestures, such as dragging or multi-movement actions, without providing simpler alternatives. The Site does not meet WCAG criterion 2.5.1 (Pointer Gestures).
Some interactive components on the Site trigger actions only on pointer release or include cancellation mechanisms. However, other elements are activated immediately on the first tap or click, without confirmation or the ability to cancel. Therefore, the Site only partially complies with WCAG criterion 2.5.2 (Pointer Cancellation).
The match between accessible name and visible label is met for most interactive elements. However, some components show minor discrepancies that may cause confusion when using assistive technologies. WCAG 2.5.3 (Label in Name) is therefore only partially satisfied.
Alternatives to motion-based activation are available for some functionalities, but not all. The WCAG 2.5.4 (Motion Actuation) criterion is only partially met.
UNDERSTANDABLE
Content and interaction mechanisms must be clear and understandable to all.
This includes using plain language, specifying the page’s language, maintaining consistency in labels and actions, and providing effective support for form completion and error identification.
Readable
The primary language of the Site is correctly declared in the code. Therefore, the requirement under WCAG 3.1.1 (Language of Page) is met.
Sections of the Site written in a language different from the main one are properly marked in the code, in accordance with WCAG 3.1.2 Language of Parts.
Predictable
No content on the Site changes state automatically when receiving keyboard focus. Therefore, WCAG criterion 3.2.1 On Focus is satisfied.
When a user enters data or selects an option, the Site does not change pages, open new windows, or modify content automatically. Everything happens only if the user chooses to. This complies with WCAG criterion 3.2.2 On Input.
Repeated elements such as headers, menus, and footers maintain a consistent position and structure across all pages of the Site, making navigation easier for users. (WCAG 2.1 – Criterion 3.2.3 Consistent Navigation)
Elements that perform the same function across different pages of the Site (e.g., buttons or links with the same action) are labeled consistently. This ensures that users can easily recognize and use them without confusion. (WCAG 2.1 – Criterion 3.2.4 Consistent Identification)
Input Assistance
When a user fills out a form on the Site (such as submitting a request or registering), any errors are clearly indicated. The fields with errors are identified, along with a description of the issue, so the user can correct it easily. (WCAG 2.1 – Criterion 3.3.1 Error Identification)
All input fields on the Site are accompanied by labels or instructions that clearly explain their purpose, supporting users during form completion. (WCAG 2.1 – Criterion 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions)
When a user fills out a form and makes a mistake (for example, leaving a required field empty or using the wrong format), the Site displays a message that clearly explains what the problem is and how to fix it. This helps users correct the error without confusion. (WCAG 2.1 – Criterion 3.3.3 Error Suggestion)
The Site includes mechanisms that allow users to review, confirm, or cancel critical operations, such as submitting personal data, placing binding orders, or entering financial information. These features help prevent errors with significant consequences. (WCAG 2.1 Criterion – 3.3.4 Error Prevention)
ROBUST
Digital content must be developed in a robust way, i.e., compatible with a wide range of browsers, devices, and assistive technologies.
Properly structured code allows for safe and reliable access, ensuring that functionalities are recognized and usable by all users, including those using screen readers or other accessibility tools.
Compatible
The Site’s source code (including HTML) is properly structured and free of syntax errors that could hinder interpretation by assistive technologies. All elements are correctly nested, closed, and declared according to specifications. WCAG 4.1.1 (Parsing) is satisfied.
The Site partially meets WCAG 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value). Most interactive elements are correctly identified by name, role, and value. However, some components still fail to expose this information consistently, reducing accessibility for users relying on assistive technologies.
The Site partially meets WCAG 4.1.3 (Status Messages). Some messages that inform the user about interface changes, such as confirmations or errors, are correctly announced by assistive technologies, while others are not perceivable or not automatically read, partially limiting accessibility for users with visual impairments.
Conclusion
This statement is based on a self-assessment conducted in compliance with current regulations and is subject to periodic review, especially in the event of significant changes to the website or regulatory updates.
The website owner is committed to ensuring fair and inclusive access to its digital content and invites users to report any difficulties or suggestions by writing to ecommerce@emporioenologico.com, in order to continuously improve the site's accessibility.
