Description
Vitis vinifera 'Leopoldo' is appreciated for its conical and compact clusters of large round berries with black-blue skin and sweet, crunchy, and juicy flesh. It is an ideal variety for table consumption. Each cluster weighs an average of 300 to 400 g. Harvesting takes place between late August and early September, depending on the region. This hardy and resistant vine thrives in the sun in well-drained soil. Train it against a wall in a sunny spot or let it run on a trellis or pergola.
Like all grapevines, Vitis vinifera 'Leopoldo' belongs to the Vitaceae family. The vine is a sarmentous, climbing bush that forms a trunk over time, often knotty and twisted. Its long stems, or canes, bear green, dissected, and toothed leaves. They offer beautiful colours in autumn, ranging from yellow to orange. In spring (May-June), it has small green flowers grouped in rather dense clusters.
'Leopoldo' is a variety derived from the 'Alphonse de Lavallée' variety, selected in Belgium in 1925 by Emile Denaeyer. It is a productive and self-fertile variety, which produces medium to large, rather conical and dense clusters. The berries are spherical, quite large, dark blue, and covered with bloom. The pulp is pleasant to taste, crunchy, juicy, and sweet. The grapes are mainly intended for fresh consumption, but they can also be used in fruit salads, pies, juices, or cooked as a meat accompaniment.
Like all table grapes, plant your 'Leopoldo' vine in a sunny spot, trained against a wall, on a trellis, or a pergola. Planting in a pot on a terrace is also possible. This decorative and delicious plant will find a place in all gardens. Pair the 'Leopoldo' black fruit vine with the 'Lilla' variety with white-green fruit to vary flavours and colours.

Planting and care
The 'Leopoldo' Vine thrives in the sun in any well-drained soil, even poor ones. It hates stagnant moisture. Plant it in well-worked soil enriched with organic fertiliser or compost. Once established, the vine can withstand summer drought. It can tolerate temperatures as low as -14°C for short periods and enjoys long hot summers for good fruiting. Train your vine against a wall or let it run on a trellis or pergola.
In spring, remove sterile, weak, or misplaced shoots to redirect all sap to the fruit-bearing canes. Once the berries have formed, prune again, leaving 2 or 3 leaves above each cluster. Take the opportunity to remove excess foliage. To avoid exhausting your vine, leave one cluster per shoot in the first year, then two in the second year, and so on. These spring and summer prunings are called fruiting prunings. Their purpose is to obtain fuller clusters and larger berries. In winter (outside the frost period), shorten the canes that produced fruit the previous year.
To prevent powdery mildew and downy mildew, treat your vine in spring and during the summer with Bordeaux mixture and/or sulphur powder, especially if you live in a rainy region.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
