"Strawberry" is a generic term in much of Europe referring to the taste
of labrusca grapes. Uva Fragola may be a specific hybrid, but in many
places it's often the old American "Isabella". Concord is often
described as having a strawberry flavor in parts of Europe.

Now here's a grape that's popular in Italy as a dessert grape. In Italy
it's known as "Uva Fragola" which translates to strawberry grape.
According to an Italian freind that visits italy frequently told me
that this grape taste more like a ripe strawberry.
A gardener in northern italy near Genova grows this grape. He mentioned
that Strawberry grape is a hybrid between american and european grape.
It's very vigorous and productive. Disease resistance as well,
producing red color grapes. It's illegal to produce wine made from
Strawberry Grape in Italy. I'm not sure why.
Here's a discription from a UK nursery source:
"STRAWBERRY GRAPE (also known as ‘Fragole’). This is an unusual
variety, because its flavour is strawberry-like. The fruit is mauve and
is very prolific either in greenhouse or indeed quite successful
outside. Is a strong grower and makes good fruity wine."
Does anyone grow this grape in the US?
