Individual competition

Number of participants: 60 pruners

Registration fee: €60 (VAT included).

All participants will be provided with a pruner kit.

The vineyard is a spurred cordon pruned using the Simonit&Sirch Method, Sangiovese variety, with the presence of original plants and replacements, of different ages, which require differentiated pruning.
The individual competition is divided into 2 phases: qualifications and finals. At the end of the qualifying phase, a ranking of the first 20 competitors will be drawn up: only the first 10 classified will be admitted to the finals of the Individual Competition.

Blocks of 20 (twenty) consecutive vine plants in the same row (spurred cordon) will be assigned: competitors will have to prune 20 (twenty) plants in 30 (thirty) minutes according to the instructions given in the pre-race brief.

Only the use of manual shears according to the deliveries provided in the pretender brief by the jury is permitted. The classification is based on precision and cutting technique according to the Simonit&Sirch method.

Entries are open until 15th March 2024
