HARVEST ACTIVITIES
During the harvesting activity, the participants under the supervision of the oenologist and a geologist will be able to learn about the vine varieties present and be informed about the agronomic activities in the vineyard (soil characteristics, agronomic operations etc. etc.).
In addition, the grapes harvested (in boxes) exclusively manually will be given to the winery by the participants themselves, where they will be able to view the destemming process of the grapes.
