We are in Tortona, in the province of Alessandria, in a 5-hectare apple orchard at the De Giorgi farm, accompanied by Andrea Aiachini. The orchards are home to apple trees trained in the Bibaum system, i.e., double-tree, and equipped with anti-hail protection using Konnet netting, which involves the use of two half-nets joined at the ridge wire with special clips.
