To obtain valuable information for the creation of the new vineyard, in the name of sustainability and quality.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:29\"><strong>Excavations and sampling:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:273\">With the help of the oenologist and an excavator, sampling excavations were carried out at a depth of approximately 1.20-1.50 meters. The result brought to light interesting aspects, also highlighting critical issues that will be taken into consideration for the new plant.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:21\"><strong>Soil composition:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:206\">The soil, composed almost entirely of sand and clay, presented numerous spherical and black metallic nodules. In the south east areas, a layer of compact clay was also identified at a depth of approximately 70 cm.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:24\"><strong>Problems identified:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"15:1-18:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:154\"><strong>Poor permeability:<\/strong>\u00a0The layer of compact clay prevented the roots from penetrating deep, creating a dense network above and hindering water drainage.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"16:1-16:141\"><strong>Soil asphyxia:<\/strong>\u00a0The accumulation of water above the clay layer prevented oxygen exchange, creating conditions of asphyxia for the roots.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"17:1-18:0\"><strong>Soil compaction:<\/strong>\u00a0Frequent and intense rains in the last year, combined with the passage of agricultural machinery on wet soils, have favored soil compaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:22\"><strong>Adopted solutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"21:1-24:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:95\"><strong>Reduction of plant density:<\/strong>\u00a0More space for plants and their roots for better development.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"22:1-22:134\"><strong>Increase in the width of the rows:<\/strong>\u00a0From 1.30 to 2 meters to allow the use of more modern machinery with less impact on the soil.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"23:1-24:0\"><strong>Introduction of trees in the vineyard:<\/strong>\u00a0The deep roots of the trees will help to break up any compaction of the clay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:27\"><strong>A far-sighted approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:311\">The soil analysis allowed Terradonn\u00e0 to implement a soil requalification plan for the new vineyard.
