GRAPE CULTIVATION
The worldwide production of table grapes is over 7 million tons, of which 20% (over 1.5 million) come from Italy, which is the record producer.
Over 65% of Italian production (thus nearly one million tons) comes from Apulia; the second most important region is Sicily, which offers 25% of the domestic harvest.
The most widespread crops are Alfonso Lavallée, Cardinal, Italia, Panse precocious, Regina dei Vigneti, Regina bianca and Regina nera. Other varieties are also interesting, such as Red Flame and King's Ruby.
