Vine characteristics
Shoot and training context
Plantgrape describes very thin shoots, elongated internodes and numerous secondary shoots, noting the variety must be trained carefully at proper height and pruned long. These are reference observations, not a site prescription.
Regional research context
Plantgrape notes Nebbiolo is slightly sensitive to powdery mildew and grey rot. That is a reference observation, not disease-management advice.
