In this season the growth of the vine is very fast. There are so many jobs to do!<\/p>\n
We are now finishing the green pruning<\/strong> works, that is, a set of different interventions that act on the green parts of the plant (leaves, shoots, branches, bunches), so called in contrast to the “dry” or winter one (which we did on the branches). We do these jobs all by hand, because we must carefully chosen how to do them for each individual vine. Let’s see those of this period.<\/p>\n Desuckering<\/strong> is the elimination of shoots that arise from the rootstock of the vine, as well as those that arise from the latent buds, on the trunk or other woody branches. It is important to do this very early, before they develop too much. We also has done the thinning of the shoots on the canes of the year.<\/p>\n
