A grappoli d'inverno translates to "winter grapes" in Italian. The outer skin of this grape cultivar is more thick than others, keeping moisture inside of the tomato many months. Therefore, the vines are cut when loaded with fruit and hung upside down indoors so you can harvest fresh tomatoes throughout the winter time. This is a common practice in Italy and Spain. These tomatoes are great to make dried tomatoes, tomato sauce, or roasted. Plants are more compact compared to other indeterminate cherry tomatoes I have grown.
