The extra-large with
intense flavor
The Red Globe grape, discovered in the 1950s by the University of California, arrived in Italy in the 1980s, rapidly becoming the second most widespread variety in Sicily. It is easily found in supermarkets and produce departments thanks to its remarkable resistance to adverse temperatures and long transport.
Its distinctive characteristics are the large, round, and few-seeded berries, which offer an excellent balance between taste and practicality. Furthermore, Red Globe is highly digestible, boasts diuretic and laxative properties, and lends itself to various culinary preparations, gaining increasingly widespread appreciation among consumers and chefs.
