Plot 1. Jalon Valley
The first plot of 10,400m2 in the Jalon Valley was cleared of grape vines and trees in October 2015 and is ready to be deep spiked to a depth of one metre. This is one of the most important steps in preparing the ground before planting the White Bianchetto or Borchii truffle. The land is spiked in two directions, First one way and then crosswise. This is done to aerate the soil and also makes it easier when the fence posts are hammered into the ground. A one metre trench will be also be dug around the whole perimeter of the plot using a hoe isolating any tree roots that may have strayed onto the land from outside the border. It will then be left for 8 weeks before it is ploughed, then land will be left until winter 2016 before the first saplings are planted.
