The season starts with the Black Magic and Vittoria varieties. The former is slightly late as, last year, "we started harvesting on June 13th."
Volumes so far are therefore still limited.
Above and below: Black Magic bunches.
The company grows table grapes on 25 hectares in total but also works with other producers to supply all its destination markets.
Vittoria grape bunches.
"Volumes should be similar to 2014 and quality is excellent. The Vittoria variety presents a sugar content of 13-14° Brix with well-formed medium-big grapes. The same can be said for Black Magic, which has a sugar content of 12-13°."

In addition to Vittoria and Black Magic, Sant'Ambrogio also sells many other table grape varieties - Italia, Palieri, Red Globe, seedless varieties, Sugarone, Crimsom, and even Black Pearl, a new black variety which ripens in October.
Sant'Ambrogio owner Francesco Ciavarella.
"Expectations for this season are positive and in line with last year - the campaign will last from June to December with a good product."
Big bunches of medium-big grapes for the Vittoria (above) and Black Magic (below) varieties.
Sant'Ambrogio grapes are shipped to the main Italian markets - Verona, Padua, Milan - but also abroad, to Germany, Poland and Central Europe in particular.
Above: Vittoria grapes ready to be shipped to destination markets in Italy and Central Europe. Below: Black Magic grapes. More quantities will be harvested in the coming weeks according to ripening stages.
"At the moment, the only foreign countries that can compete with us are Spain and Greece, but only for what concerns seedless grapes, because the quality of our produce with seeds is just the best. Spain has already started to sell seedless grapes. Quality is good, though quantities may not be so abundant."
