developped into alcohol
Svolto means developped or a turning point, which from the context above, could mean that the the volume of the wine contains 13% of alcohol i.e., which out of 100%, 13% has turned into alcohol.

Giles Watson
: "Developed" has only one "p", a turning point is a "svolta" and it is sugar, not wine, that turns into alcohol.

finished/acquired alcohol
This is not the same as potential alcohol as some of the sugar in the wine may not have been fermented (residual sugar).
