Amarone vines pruning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While the must that will become Amarone<\/strong><\/a> 2012 is waiting to start the fermentation inside tanks, vines pruning activity<\/strong> continues in vineyards. In a couple of weeks it should be completed in all Valpolicella<\/strong><\/a> area. Pruning determines the shape that vines will take, not only in the oncoming season, both also in the long term over the years. But above all, pruning determines how much the vine will expand and produce in the current year. Grape prduction<\/strong> is planned ahead by wine makers with pruning, and grape quantity per vine<\/strong> is one of the key factor that influences the quality of all wines in general and Amarone in particular. Pruning is therefore the first of many steps in that process that over many years will determine how good the Amarone of a particular vintage is.<\/p>\n
