Agriculture / Vine growing
Italian term or phrase: attitudine uvifera
I'm translating an article on grapes and vine growing in which the various species are classified as "con attitudine uvifera", "con scarsa attitudine uvifera" e "priva di attitudine uvifera". Does anyone have any idea how I could translate those terms? Thanks, Sarah.

Explanation:
More context would help. However I'put it this way, "grape-bearing area".

I don't know if the "various species" you're referring to are "grape varieties" or something else.

Attitudine looks like the italian term "vocato/a" in the common expression "zona vocata (alla viticoltura)" translated by Giles Watson as "vineyard terrain".

You can have look at Watson's Wine Glossary

Given the context you kindly provided I'd say that "attitudine uvifera" might be

"grape-bearing portential"

1. no grape-bearing potential
2. poor grape-bearing potential
3. average/good/high grape-bearing potential

Explanation:
Are they for the table or for wine, by the way? A whole sentence might help.
It depends on the sentence but e.g. "... good yield of grapes.." "heavy bearer of fruit..." "..moderate yield..." "likely to be a heavy/light/moderate bearer..." or "reluctant to bear fruit...", etc.

if you put "yield" or "crop" into the "Search" of this file you see lots of examples:
