grape
"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?
