Ampelography

Ampelography is the study of grapevines, particularly their identification and classification based on various characteristics. This field encompasses analyzing the plant's leaves, stems, and fruit to differentiate grape varieties and assess their suitability for wine production. Ampelography is essential for vineyard management and wine quality, as it helps viticulturists select the best grape types for specific climates and soil conditions. By understanding the unique traits of different grape varieties, winemakers can produce distinct wines, each with its unique flavor profile and aroma.
