ungrafted root stock (pie franco)

"El sistema radicular del "pie franco" es más potente, resistente a la sequía y da vinos con mejor concentración de polifenoles. Así se obtiene el monastrell con las mejores calidades. "

"pié franco", ungrafted

I'd probably put the Spanish term + ungrafted/explanation

The carriers of graft used in espaldiers parcels are 41-B, 161-49 and Rugeri 140. The parcels with the monastrell variety are "pie franco" (in other words, vine is Monastrell 100 %, no graft is used in its cultive.) The vine that uses "pie franco" have a most powerful root and they support dry seasons better.
