Guyot Vine Pruning

Antonino Barcia, agronomist at the “Azienda Agricola Leonardo Grippi”, explains us through a video the procedure of vine- pruning by the Guyot system, in a Nero d’Avola vineyard.

In order to understand this procedure, briefly, it is necessary to distinguish 3 different phases:

The Past: the condition of the vines the previous year.

The Present:   Choosing the appropriate vine shoots for pruning the current year.

The Future: The vine shoots to be preserved for the following year.

Vine pruning consists in cutting all shoots arising from the main trunk, preserving only a vine branch, called “fruiting cane”, and a “fruiting spur”. The cane is pruned back to five or six buds and the spur is pruned back to one pair of buds.

The following year, the fruiting cane will have already become “last year’s vine shoots” and will be cut off. The operation of pruning will be repeated, and from the shoots of the fruiting spur a new cane and spur will be extracted for the next year.

This way, vines are constantly renewed, year by year.

Grippi’s vineyard will produce splendid fruits, giving birth to our precious Don Leo Nero d’Avola with an ancient taste…

Setting up a vineyard

Setting up a new vineyard is a really demanding decision, both from the economic point of view and the technical-agronomical one.

In some sense, the quantity of cures required by the grape vines in order to grow is so large that we, as producers, use to say that it is almost like growing up a child.

With this series of articles, also with the help of our photos, videos, and specific advises from our agronomist Antonino Barcia, we will follow all the agronomical operations: from the first steps of soil tillage to the  completion of the vineyard.

We will try to pass on to you the enthusiasm and joy we feel when we see our grapes growing!

Have a good time!
