Hi,
I'm not too sure about "vigoria" in this sentence:
"Tradizionale forma di allevamento friulana ottimizzata, dai tecnici aziendali, ad una produzione ristretta ma di qualità attraverso un contenimento della vigoria ed un ridotto carico di gemme."
My translation at the moment:
"Traditional training technique of Friuli optimised by company methods for restricted but quality production using reduced vigour and a reduced number of buds."
This "reduced vigour" thing just doesn't seem right to me!

You could also say "a less vigorous growth habit".
"Vigor: refers to the vegetative growth of the vine, which depends on many factors, including soil, availability of water and nutrients, climate, vineyard practices and the length of the 'growing season'. It has a direct impact on the quality of grapes produced, as both high and low vigor can severly affect the vine's ability to transfer the vital nutrients necessary to achieve optimum fruit maturity."

Note from asker:
| Thanks Phil. That sounds like a good suggestion to me and good to have a definition like that! |

You might want to rephrase slightly:
Traditional Friulian training system adapted by our/estate agronomists to ensure lower yields and enhanced quality by restricting vine vigour and reducing bud load.
Note that "aziendale" refers to the estate or winery ("azienda agricola") so "company" might be inappropriate or misleading. The training system referred to is presumably the fairly high-yielding Cappuccina, or Friulian arched cane.
