We are in late spring, I am always with my father Claudio to perform a very important operation in this phase of vegetative recovery of the plant, that is the sucking off.This practice is carried out in this period of the year, after the plant has resumed its vegetation activity (already advanced) and allows you to remove the so-called succhioni or polloni which arise in the trunk where the old wood is found, that is the oldest part of the vine. The benefit brought to the plant is to concentrate all the substances coming from the roots directly on the upper part, that is the fruiting area of ​​the plant itself. This operation can be performed either by hand or with a mechanical-automatic tool called spollonatore, greatly speeding up the work in the vineyard.
