Vernatsch is a red, German/Italian wine grape variety that was likely first originally cultivated in the wine regions of South Tyrol and Trentino but today is almost exclusively cultivated on steep, sunny locations in the Wuerttemberg
wine region of Baden-Wuerttemberg. It is primarily known under the synonyms Trollinger in Germany, Vernatsch in South Tyrol and Schiava in other Italian regions. As a table grape the variety is sometimes known as Black Hamburg, which is commonly confused with the similar synonym for Black Muscat--a variety that is actually a cross of Trollinger and Muscat of Alexandria.
A grape is a fruiting berry of the deciduous woody vines of the botanical genus Vitis. Grapes can be eaten raw or they can be used for making wine, jam, juice, jelly, grape seed extract, raisins, vinegar, and grape seed oil. Grapes are a non-climacteric type of fruit, generally occurring in clusters.
