The tears of the vine

 

The sap rises (February-March).

In the cold weather, the winegrower, armed with a pair of secateurs, tirelessly repeats the same movements as he progresses along the rows of vines. With this physical contact, the grower gets to know his vines almost individually.

ecause of that, when the operation is completed at the end of March and the sap rises and flows out of the cuts, the growers like to think that the vines are “crying”.
