Roccagorga. Festival of the Strawberry Grape

Roccagorga. Festival of the Strawberry Grape

On the second Sunday of October Roccagorga celebrates the Strawberry Grape Festival with wine produced from native grapes.

The vinification of strawberry grape (also known as Uva Americana) is prohibited at commercial levels and permitted only for family use because of its low alcohol content.

The festival seeks to promote this particular fruit with thick rind that is bitter and harsh and content that is hard and very sweet.

It is a valuable traditional product of Roccagorga.
