Viticulture is the science and practice of growing grapevines, primarily for the purpose of producing wine. It encompasses various aspects such as soil management, vine training, and pest control, all aimed at optimizing grape quality and yield. The process is influenced by factors like climate, geography, and grape variety, making each vineyard unique.
In addition to the cultivation of grapes, viticulture also involves understanding the biology of the vine and the impact of environmental conditions on grape development. Successful viticulture requires a blend of traditional knowledge and modern techniques to ensure the production of high-quality grapes for winemaking.
