An Ancient Method of Cultivating Grapes
This low-intervention method which has remained unchanged for over 2,500 years and where it was first developed by the Greeks and Romans is characterized by simplicity – no stakes or trellises are involved. The vines are allowed to grow in the shape of a bush, a naturally low-to-the-ground method that enables vines to shade themselves, rather than being structured upward. Pruning each year, during the month of January, is an essential part of keeping the vine healthy.
