Green harvest (last week of July)

Here's a photo from our "Green Harvest". We do this on every vineyard at the end of July, cutting a number of grape bunches per vines before the veraison in order to concentrate the energy of the vines to ripen the few remaining ones. We do not mind the reduction of the yield because we want very high quality in production.

Tomorrow I'll post some photos of the veraison called the "invaiatura" to show the ripening of the grapes.
