Walking through the vineyards: everything is OK for now

I just returned from a brief trip abroad and, as you will have by now understood, as soon as I get back from a trip it is my habit to make the rounds walking through all of the Rivetto vineyards to check on their development.  Everything seems normal to me: in spite of the abundant rain of the last few weeks, there are no fungal infestations, the system of foliage is visibly healthy and the new vines have taken root well.

Today is snowing again and it makes me a little bit worried, because if the spring comes late, as it seems for now, we will have to hurry with the work on vineyard.
