This historic training system, in use for centuries in Alto Piemonte, consists of three/four vines, supported by eight chestnut poles, developing toward the four cardinal points. Architect Antonelli (designer of the "Mole Antonelliana") refined the outward flaring of the support poles, creating a self-supporting structure much more resistant to the weight of the grape load.
Traditionally in these vineyards different grapes were planted, especially black berried grapes, of indigenous varieties.
