At this time of year, the Col Vetoraz vineyards are resting, while man is engaged in the manual art of pruning, working around the bare branches to prepare the plant for spring awakening
In winter the earth, in fact, suspends its vegetative cycle; a necessary pause for the plant, because this is the very moment when it gathers the energy needed to give full vigour to the first buds, the true generative work of Mother Nature.
This is how our CEO and oenologist Loris Dall’Acqua describes this period: ‘In winter, the vine experiences a necessary period of hibernation. The plant, in fact, asks to be left undisturbed, a necessary wait to prepare for the spring awakening’.
A watchful slowness that sees in the delicate work of pruning the search for that balance for the vine that is fundamental for the vintage. At Col Vetoraz, these weeks are focused on a new seasonal cycle, to prepare to make a difference, in the sign of excellence.
