Re: Grapes in Sardinia

Trevor
Thank you so much for giving this information.  I will pass it on to my friends.  Sounds like this type of culture would not work in the very wet northwest US, so I'll continue with my trellising and screening practices.  (The grapes screen the east side of the house, produce some fruit, many leaves and much pleasure.)

Syrah or Shiraz grapes grow here in the Barossa Valley as small bushes
with no supports. They are not irrigated in summer so the vines are very
compact. Pinot meunier is another grape variety that does not climb much
and is also treated as a bush. There could also be local Sicilian grape
vars to grow likewise. The Barossa vines produce some of our top class
reds as fruit quality of very high, even tho each bush doesn't bear
heavily.
