Grape 'Itasca', Itasca Grape
Bred for use in cold climates, Vitis ‘Itasca’ produces compact clusters of golden grapes in early fall. The fruit has moderately low acidity levels and high sugar levels at maturity, producing a dry white wine that is light yellow to straw in color and has aromas of pear, quince, violet, melon, minerals, and subtle honey notes. A deciduous shrub with large, three-lobed green leaves, ‘Itasca’ exhibits excellent disease and insect resistance. This is the fifth cold-hardy wine grape released by the University of Minnesota. Easy to grow, Grape vines not only reward you with large crops of delicious fruits, they are also very decorative, providing a handsome leafy cover that clothes arbors, fences or trellises beautifully.
