Cabernet, the largest part of the vineyard, is a variety used only for wine production.
“This is the Italian grape that is mainly used for wine.", said the farmer.
The plantations were planted at different times, some four years and some eight. The agronomist says that they have been producing since the second year of each plot.
They started with an area of 2 hectares, and today they have expanded it to 7.5 hectares or more.
“We started with 2 hectares and today we have 7.5 hectares and we are expanding by the day.", he said.
