Vines need reasonably deep, free-draining soil and plenty of sunlight to ripen properly and will happily grow on any good garden soil and sunny site in southern Britain. They can be trained against walls, on trellis or over arches. Remove all flowers for the first two years after planting. Allow only a few bunches of grapes to grow for the first two years.
Our current variety is a delicious red wine grape is named after the Mascali area in Catania, Sicily. Under the shade of Mount Etna it thrives in the volcanic soil there but can grow well here in the UK. Will need a good sunny spot though.
The nerello mascalese grape is known to be one of the best vines in the world: the ‘Pinot Noir of Sicily’ or the ‘King of Etna’. Light to medium body flavour with thin skins so although ideal for wine they can be eaten as sweeter than some varieties.

The tree is watered before being carefully packed by one of our experienced staff on site. It comes in a cardboard box lined with straw. (We try to use as much recycling material as possible) The box is addressed to the customer or a specified name and address and sent out overnight delivery to arrive on requested dates.
Please note the size of the tree that you are ordering, as our trees are provided for our clients to plant themselves, which may appear at a small size rather than the fully grown tree as shown in the photos. To find out more information, please visit our Delivery & Returns page.
