Description

A grower-friendly grape vine. Itasca is the latest cold-hardy grape to come from the University of Minnesota breeding program. Itasca produces a dry white wine that is light yellow to straw in color, and has aromas of pear, quince, violet, melon, minerals along with faint notes of honey. Because of its lower acidity and higher sugar levels, this is an excellent choice for a sweeter wine style. The fruit is a beautiful, glowing golden hue when ripe. High resistance to powdery and downy mildew as well as phylloxera, so it requires less spraying. Cold-hardy. Developed by the University of Minnesota and introduced in 2017. Ripens mid-to-late September. Self-pollinating. May be covered by USPP #29,847 or other patents. ‘MN 1285’ cultivar.
