Italian term

ceppo

Italian to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
Another wine term! This time relating to the "ceppo" of the "vitigno"; i.e. what is planted I believe.

La produzione massima di uve non deve essere in media superiore a kg 3,00 per ceppo.

I can visualise this in my head but can't find a term for it. "Strain", "strand", "individual plant", simply "plant"?

Would appreciate your help.

stump

In this case, I think it means that each "root system" or "plant", as you thought, should produce on average 3 Kg of grapes. So, in this context, "ceppo" is the stump.
Peer comment(s):

agree axies : to me is the only translation of ceppo!

strain

at least that's what it most definitely is in plant eugenics – a genotype of a genotype of the subspecies, so to speak.

vine

"Muscadine grapes are well adapted to the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, .... at ¼ lb per vine after planting and ½ lb per vine in the second year. ..."

I think this settles it. There are many more examples on google.
