A good copy of a fragile 19th-century ephemera. 9 x 6 1\/4 x 1\/8 Italian Practical vineyard manual with large fold-out plate of training and trellising systems. A rare nineteenth-century viticultural pamphlet, conceived as a practical guide to the rational establishment and management of vineyards. Its author, a physician-agronomist, grounds his method in close observation of Italian vineyards and above all, in the practice gained on his own \"podere\" (farm) with a view to improving both productivity and vine longevity. A curious and instructive little manual, distilled from direct experience at a moment when scientific viticulture was beginning to take shape in post-unification Italy. The small treatise moves systematically through soil preparation, varietal selection, fertilization, pruning, and the annual cycle of vineyard care, and is accompanied by a large folding plate illustrating contemporary training and trellising systems. The style is clear and practical, intended both for small landowners and for the agricultural technicians of the time. Achille Zita was an Italian physician and agronomist. Science meeting soil: physician among vines, preaching longevity over yield, and sketching trellises like poetry in geometry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Fenice Antiquaria LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138687221995,"sku":"63-1876--85-32-2025","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/2000\/5611\/files\/063_003_870490d0-dc1a-45eb-9490-eb50b4467188.jpg?v=1764542986","url":"https:\/\/fenicebooks.com\/products\/metodo-razionale-per-piantare-una-vigna-achille-zita-1876","provider":"La Fenice Antiquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
