Compared to the annual growth cycle of other Piedmontese grape varieties, Nebbiolo is one of the first varieties to bud and last variety to ripen with harvest taking place in mid to late October.
With daytime temperatures starting to warm, bud-break may begin the vegetation growth cycle as the shoots emerge. Frost danger is now at its height. Smudge-pots, wind-machines, and frost-protection sprinklers must be repaired and readied.
With temperature warming in April, bud-break may begin the vegetation growth cycle. Frost danger is now at its height. Smudge-pots, wind-machines and frost-protection sprinklers must be repaired and readied.
Negligible rainfall and the absence of frost ended the previous growth cycle and continued through the dormant period coupled with moderate snow.
DON MUSCAT: V.amurensis hybrid variety. (No other details other than it is reported to have early budbreak, low vigor and a short growth cycle. Somewhat less sensitive to the mildew diseases and phylloxera than V.vinifera).
