Microlepidopterous insect whose larvae attack the grapevine's flowers and leaves. The insect is currently fought with insecticides, but for many years the method used consisted of spraying the vines with hot water while the insect was hibernating. This practice was discovered by chance, by Benito Raclet, mine engineer and admirer of viticulture. Raclet noticed that a vine located underneath his kitchen window, to where he used to throw hot water, wasn't attacked by webworm.
