Replanting Sangiovese vineyard in Sant'Angelo (Montalcino)

These are some photographs of replanting a vineyard earlier this summer. 

These are the "barbatelle" called the "rootstock" in English.

The vineyard workers line up in rows to plant the rootstocks.

 

He makes a hole in the ground and inserts the rootstock.

 

That is the rootstock in the ground.

 

The rootstocks are then "trained" using rope and stakes. Soon the vineyard will begin to take shape.
