Uva Trifera - Grape from Ischia

by Giorgio Gallesio

Experience the glory of Mediterranean pomology with this stunning botanical illustration of the Uva Trifera, one of the most renowned grape varieties that was described by the world-famous Italian botanist Giorgio Gallesio in his groundbreaking book of the 19th century, “Pomona Italiana.”

Hailing from the sun-soaked terraces of the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples, the Uva Trifera is an amazing feat of nature and cultivation. The name of the grape variety translates into “fruit-bearing three times,” which indicates its capability to produce three successive batches of grapes within a single season.

Through Gallesio’s masterpiece, the luxurious look of the grape bunch and vine leaves with all their veins and the richness of the fruit color are captured with incomparable scientific precision and elegant artistry. This beautiful illustration will be not only a lovely addition to your collection but a wonderful symbol of the Italian wine-making traditions, ancient horticulture and unique biodiversity of Campania.
