The double inverted Guyot vineyard system, also known as the cappuccina system, is an advanced variation of the double Guyot. Introduced by the Capuchin monks in 1962, this training method supports high-yield production while enabling the mechanization of vineyard operations when needed. It is particularly suitable for vineyards on soils requiring greater vegetative support and for growers seeking more automated management solutions.
The double inverted Guyot system offers numerous benefits, making it a top choice for productive and easily manageable vineyards.
This structure ensures excellent sun exposure and optimal air circulation around the grape clusters, creating a favorable environment for fruit ripening while reducing the risk of fungal diseases. The improved vegetative structure allows vines to better adapt to climatic variability, promoting healthy and vigorous growth.
Furthermore, the design of this system facilitates mechanized operations, reducing the need for manual labor and improving efficiency during both harvesting and maintenance. Simplified pruning and abundant productivity are key features that make this system highly cost-effective, delivering high yields with minimal intervention.
Its robust support structure, built with SIKA vineyard trellis posts, ensures exceptional durability and resistance to environmental stress such as strong winds. This makes the double inverted Guyot an excellent choice for vineyard managers seeking efficient cultivation and superior grape quality, while optimizing labor and operational resources.
