Yields: The base yield of grapes is 80 quintals per hectare.

Winemaking: Liu Pambuffeti of the Scacciadiavoli winery told me the yield of wine from the Sagrantino grapes, which must be allowed to shrivel after picking, causes 75% of the juice to be lost to evaporation, producing yields of 18 litres of wine per 100kg of grapes.
