Question 1

What type of vineyard management needs to be practiced for Verdicchio and Pecorino

Answer 1

The first few buds of both varieties are sterile, so vines need to be given space for long training systems, either Guyot or pergola, and to be planted at low densities.

Question 2

Why has Pecorino been the focus of clonal selection?

Answer 2

To rectify its low productivity.
