This winter, we uprooted an old vineyard that had, alas, fallen foul of that odious scourge, esca disease.

We decided to replant the vineyard with the same variety, and as we have already described, this winter season – with its abundant snowfalls – has managed to give the soil a good going over, disinfecting it thoroughly. So we’re now replanting the vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon.

….and the final result: the planted vineyard. Now all that’s missing are the stakes and the wires.
