Uva Brachetto - Grape

by Giorgio Gallesio

Capture a slice of the long-standing viticultural tradition of Italy with this stunning botanical print of the Uva Brachetto grapes. Featured in the legendary 19th century work of Pomona Italiana (1817-1839), Italy's premiere and most complete scientific encyclopedia of native fruits by Giorgio Gallesio, this botanical illustration elegantly combines the two worlds of science and art.

Illustrated here is a beautiful vine branch displaying the unique features of the famed red wine grapes from Piedmont. Known for their distinctive dark purplish-blue fruit with detailed vine leaves, the Brachetto grapes are renowned for producing fragrant, sweet and sparkling red wines that taste like strawberries and roses. This high-resolution digitally-restored illustration of the Brachetto grapes retains the authentic watercolor tones and textures of the historical plates in the Pomona Italiana.
