Viticulture
From December to March, the vines are pruned by hand using the "Guyot simple" pruning method. Between April and June, the vines undergo de-budding to remove any unwanted growth that could lead to an excess of grapes. In June, the growth on each side of the row is lifted and attached to metal wires. The grapes are typically harvested at the end of September using a harvesting machine. In addition to the manual labor during the growth cycle, various tasks are performed mechanically, such as plowing, topping, trimming, and providing phytosanitary protection against diseases.
