vaso policonico = multiconical goblet

This is a typo, it should be policonico. Polifonico/polyphonic is a musical term, and has nothing to do with wine or olives. Unfortunately there are many examples of this typo on the internet.
Note from asker:
I am sure it does exist in Italian applied to this specific field: if you google the phrase you will even find some imges describing this "vaso polifonico"...

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "You were right Joel, "polifonico" is a typo but not the correct word, nor in Italian, neither I suppose in English. I checked it with my client, he is a winemaker....thank you a lot!"

polyphonic vase

Questa forma di potatura riguarda di solito gli olivi più che le viti. E' il sagoma classica del bicchiere da vino - cioè tronco corto e 3 o 4 rami principali.

Marzia, il vaso polifonico si chiama anche "wineglass".

Grazie mille per la conferma, quello che mi sembrava strano è che sulla ricerca di google ci sono pochissimi risultati sotto "polyphonic vase"...

neutral Rachel Fell : this part is not translated well - it's about the growth shape of the trees and il vaso classico e il cespuglio means (classic) goblet and bush form, surely?

Yes, finally I found it also on Wikipedia. Polyphonic is then a badly repeated word....polyconic is the right word in English, while policonico is the Italian correct word. THANK YOU!
