Foodimentary Series | Italian Table Grapes | Colonna Sagra dell’Uva Italia | Italy Food Roots

Italy Food Roots was asked by the Colonna, Lazio community to create a video to showcase the Italian Table Grape to be displayed at the Sagra dell’Uva Italia Festival 2014. Here it is!

Meet the farmers behind your table grapes! Table grapes you say? Yep! Italy’s table grapes are as much a staple to the dinner table as is olive oil and pasta.
And the agricultural town of Colonna, in the Castelli Romani area just outside of Rome, are the birthplace of Uva Italia.
Watch as Colonna farmers save our table grapes from nasty weather by covering them! Sounds easy – watch!
