Uva Sangioveto - Sangioveto Grape

by Giorgio Gallesio

Give height to your walls with some viticulture history. The art reproduction here is of "Uva Sangioveto," by Giorgio Gallesio, the famed Italian botanist, printed in his magnum opus "Pomona Italiana," which was first printed between 1817-1839.

Sangiovese is what is known as today, the spirit of Chianti and Brunello, captured beautifully and accurately in this artwork. From the textured leaves of the rich green vine to the deep dust-indigo color of the bunch of grapes, everything about this illustration has been perfectly recreated.

Be an oenophile, a fan of classical Italian art, or someone who just wants to add some vintage appeal to your dining or kitchen space, this illustration from the history of botanical sciences will serve your purpose well.
