wine making

"In the cultivation of grapevine a stake is necessary. In ancient times, farmers used a living tree as a stake. To this technique, Italian agronomist refer as vite maritata (literally, married grapevine). Etruscans developed this technique, in two varieties: the alberata technique, in which the grapevine is tied to a single tree and the piantata (planted) technique, in which grapevine, bound to trees growing in a row, develops its branches along ropes tied between trees. ." Here in the park of Mount Subasio Marina showed me the piantata technique , unfortunately due to commercial farming this technique is not used as much as in the past
