L'uva Regina

Uva Regina - meaning "the Queen's Grape" - is one of the most iconic and widely cultivated table grape varieties in Italy and beyond. The best-known clone, Incrocio Mathiasz 140, was created in 1916 by Hungarian viticulturist G. Mathiasz, who crossed Regina Elisabetta with Perla di Csaba. This early-ripening, high-quality hybrid became known as Regina, the queen of table grapes, reigning supreme in Italian vineyards, especially across Sicily and Puglia.

Regina grapes are prized for their large, ellipsoid berries, golden skin, rich pulp, and high sugar content, delivering a distinct Muscat aroma and deliciously sweet taste. They are not only perfect for fresh consumption but also highly valued in the export market due to their excellent resistance to transportation. Although the vine lacks strong vigor, it is incredibly productive and typically harvested in August. Regina is a staple of Mediterranean summer tables and a symbol of traditional Italian viticulture.
