PRUNING AND RACKING SPRING 2012
The wines have been racked once 1st week of December 2011. They were racked again on te 16th and 17th March, a small amount of sulphite added to the White and Rose, all wines look great except the experimental malolactic Pecorino which was discarded due to bad flavour.
The vines were pruned; it took me, BrendyH and GrahamF a good 1.5 days, the weather (again!) was very kind to us.
Montepulciano; 8 spurs of 4 buds each per vine
Sangiovese; 2 or 3 canes of 6 buds each per vine
Pecorino; 2 or 3 canes, 8-10 buds each per vine
We also fertilised the Pecorino and Montepulciano.
