Viticulture practices

Viticulture is the science and practice of growing grapevines for wine production. It involves selecting the right grape varieties, planting vineyards in optimal locations, and managing vine health through pruning, watering, and protecting against pests and diseases. Practices also include controlling the vineyard environment, such as canopy management for sunlight exposure and airflow, to influence grape quality. The goal is to produce healthy vines that yield high-quality grapes, which are then harvested and fermented into wine. Proper viticulture ensures consistency, flavor, and character in the final wine.
