Climate Change Affects Choice and Management of Training Systems in the Grapevine

Figure 5

Internal panel shows portrait pictures of twelve grapevine training systems and, in clockwise, ten features are indicated: five of them link to climate change; three are more general, and two deal with attitude to produce still or sparkling wines. For each of them, “recommended” training systems are reported in green, whereas “nonrecommended” training systems are shown in red. Not necessarily, all training systems have been scored for each feature as some of them have been deemed to be rather neutral. The summary of these data is reported in Table 2. SHW = single high wire; RB = Raggi-Bellussi; G = goblet; S = Sylvoz; GDC = Geneva Double Curtain; P = pergola (sloped roof); C = Casarsa; L = Lyra; HSP = hedgerow spur-pruned; HCP = hedgerow cane pruned; SH = Scott-Henry; T = tendone (horizontal roof).
