Dive into the glorious era of Italian pomology with this fabulous restoration of Giorgio Gallesio’s print of Uva Rossese grape variety. This beautiful botanical illustration is taken from his great book, "Pomona Italiana," published between 1817 and 1839. In this book, you will find the true depiction of Liguria's most famous indigenous red grape variety.The veins on its serrated vine leaves and the dark ruby to violet shades of the grape bunch are carefully preserved in the picture. Gallesio was known for his insistence on having illustrations drawn and colored sul vero (on the basis of real, live specimens), which makes it both an important scientific document and artwork at once.It can be a perfect addition to any contemporary kitchen, wine cellar, or dining room, giving it the flavor of Mediterranean heritage, Italian winemaking tradition, and natural beauty.
