In the 19th century, the Teinturier Grape was the secret varietal of French winemakers, cultivated not for the table but for its exceptional coloring properties.
With its intensely red flesh and juice, this Vitis tinctoria enhanced the depth of pale wines, recognizable by its leaves that turn red by the end of summer.
This scientific plate captures the beauty of its small, compact clusters and black berries, extracted from the Traité des Arbres Fruitiers, the major botanical encyclopedia of the 19th century.
