TRAINING SYSTEMS
THE PERGOLA
The pergola has more than 2000 years of history and is the traditional form of farming in Valpolicella. The foliage protects the bunches from the sun, while the height avoids the possible damage of frost and humidity while still guaranteeing a good daily temperature range.
GUYOT
The GUYOT was introduced in Valpolicella around 1870. Over the years this breeding system has been adapted to the needs of native varieties, for example by raising the fruit head to a greater height than the norm.
