Canopy management is a key viticultural practice involving the careful arrangement and maintenance of a grapevine’s leaves, shoots, and fruit to optimize sunlight exposure, airflow, and grape ripening. By controlling the canopy’s density and shape, growers can reduce the risk of disease, improve fruit quality, and influence flavor development and tannin structure. Techniques include shoot thinning, leaf removal, and trellising adjustments, all aimed at balancing vine vigor and maximizing grape potential.
