One of the most rewarding parts of this journey has been watching the vineyard come to life over the past six months. I feel incredibly grateful to see the young vines growing so well and to witness the steady transformation from freshly planted rootstocks into a thriving vineyard.
Take an aerial look at Ram’s Vineyard Project in San Vito dei Normanni, Puglia, Italy, just six months after planting the rootstock. This video offers a unique perspective on the early stages of vineyard development as the young vines begin their journey in the heart of Puglia’s renowned wine country.
Flying above the vineyard, we capture the layout of the land, the newly planted Susumaniello grapevines, and the transformation taking place in this exciting agricultural project. From the first stages of growth to the future promise of the harvest, this is a fascinating glimpse into the patience, planning, and dedication required to establish a vineyard.
Susumaniello is a historic native grape variety from the Brindisi area of Puglia, known for producing distinctive wines with deep color, rich character, and a strong connection to the Salento terroir. Located near the historic town of San Vito dei Normanni, this vineyard project is surrounded by the rich agricultural traditions and winemaking heritage of the Salento region. Follow along as the vineyard grows from newly planted rootstock into a future source of handcrafted wines.
