1. Pruning

Generally the vine is pruned at the end of the winter, between February and March in order to avoid the periods of frost. The goal is to keep only the most fertile buds, that is to say those that appear on the one year old wood. 

3 / June / 2023

2. Blooming

Blooming refers to the flowering stage of grapevines. During this phase, the grapevine flowers open and pollination occurs, which is a critical step for fruit production.
