Sprouts selection

Sprouts selection

The selection of the sprout is an important moment for the vineyard process, a phase that requires particular attention in identifying badly positioned buds. In fact, not all sprouts are positive for the plant because, sometimes, their nourishment subtracts useful energy to be conveyed to the foliar or reproductive system.

 

We want to carry out this operation meticulously and, precisely for this reason, we perform two steps: the first at the beginning of the season, so as not to waste energy on the plant and, the second, after about a month. This year, in particular, due to a cool little sunny season, the sprouts have delayed their growth, leading us to wait for the temperatures to rise, adapting to the seasonal trend.

 

If we had done this before, in fact, in all probability it would not have brought the results we hoped to achieve. Here in San Polo we always listen to nature, because getting in tune with what surrounds us is the only way to fully understand its essence.
