#viticulture term

• To aldoi — The act of hoeing, digging, or hilling an agricultural crop for the second time, especially grapevines, maize, or potatoes, to destroy weeds and aerate the soil. This traditional practice chronologically follows the first hoeing and is essential for maintaining moisture at the plant roots.
• Ampelographic — Belonging to or relating to ampelography or the study, description, and classification of grapevine varieties. In scientific and agronomic language, it describes the morphological criteria, methods of leaf structural analysis, and technical catalogs used to identify vineyard cultivars.
• Regional grape — A regional or popular term used in certain Carpathian dialects to designate an old grape variety with small berries and rough skin or a local variety of insect harmful to grapevines; in an isolated ethnographic sense, the word could refer to a dried cluster left on the vine after the autumn harvest.
• Bacator grape — A rare native variety of grapevine that produces medium-sized clusters with sparse, reddish berries, traditionally cultivated for the production of light and aromatic table wines. The term belongs to the Romanian ampelographic heritage, being specific to certain old wine-growing regions where local agricultural biodiversity is preserved.
