After years of encouragement we finally planted our own baby Nebbiolo vineyard. Step 1 of many steps was turning over the soil
Step 2 our friend valter lays out the rows with string and poles

The vine are readied for planting by having their roots cut off this is done to force the new roots to grow down searching for water.

Using a lay out pole the vines are planted in very straight rows.

Valter oversees The last of the 200 vines being planted.

Over the next 4 years while we wait for the vines to mature we will have lots of weeding to do along with shopping for a cute little 300 liter tank to make our wine in.
