Learn about the University of Minnesota’s (UMN) newest cold-hardy wine grape, ‘Itasca.' With its low acidity and high sugar levels - coupled with its high resistance to common grape pests such as downy and powdery mildew and the insect phylloxera - Itasca is well-positioned to create a robust market for grape growers and help winemakers succeed.
Wine enthusiasts can check out a list of wineries that have released (or will soon release) an Itasca wine and nurseries/vineyards selling Itasca vines and grapes (mnhardy.umn.edu/itasca-wine). It is recommended that people check the establishments’ websites or contact the vineyard/winery/nursery directly to check on hours, availability and any COVID-19 restrictions.
More information about Itasca and other cold-hardy grape varieties can be found at UMN’s Minnesota Hardy website (mnhardy.umn.edu/).
