The vine has to be perfect in this period, in order to have the strength to produce high quality ripen bunches.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why <strong>leaves have to be healthy enough<\/strong>, I spray them with copper and sulfur against the two main diseases: downy mildew and powdery mildew. Healthy leaves convert at their best <strong>light<\/strong> energy into <strong>strength for the grape<\/strong> bunches.<\/p>\n<p>Another delicate aspect during these hot days is <strong>soil irradiation<\/strong>. Sun radiation on bare soil warms it up and causes vine roots suffering. That\u2019s why I prefer to let the grass along the row a bit higher, so it protects soil from direct sun rays, it maintains the humidity on the soil and there is also a better microclimate for the life of small animals.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4808 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/davidevignato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/05\/107312563_3779333792093712_5017983943410041424_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After flowering period, some weeks ago, we began green <strong>pruning<\/strong> and <strong>cutting leaves<\/strong> around the bunches for a better air and sun passage.

Twenty days before the <strong>bottling<\/strong> we taste all the tanks and prepare the blends, thinking about the quantities we need and on the different possibilities, in order to find the perfect match. It\u2019s a very important moment for us because in few hours of tastings and trials you try to imagine the future of each wine.
