NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES, 133 



UNI BLANC, DUH. 



Vitisfertillissima, uvd laxd, elongata, fyc. 



Among other characteristics this vine differs from the pre- 

 ceding by its leaves of rather round form, very rarely lobed, 

 and not very dark green ; the cluster is loose, very long, com- 

 posed of round berries, which are of a greenish colour, but 

 become russet next the sun and sometimes a little reddish ; the 

 skin is thick and the flavour of the fruit sweet without insi- 

 pidity. This grape is cultivated in Provence, and is one of 

 those which keep well. 



UNI ROUGE, DUH. 



Vitis uvd longiori, acino rufescenti et dulci, 



This variety is also cultivated in Provence ; the flowers 

 are very subject to blight, which often renders it sterile, but 

 when it is productive, it yields exquisite grapes, which make 

 excellent wine. There are two other kinds, which are consi- 

 dered as subvarieties, and are mentioned by Garidel ; one is 

 called in Provence Uni-rouge-de-Partus, and only differs from 

 the above in the colour of its berries, which are of a deeper 

 red ; the other produces berries which are harder and sweeter, 

 the bunch is also smaller and more elongated, and the fruit 

 does not redden until it has attained to perfect maturity. 



UNI-NOIR, DUH. 



Uni-negr, of Provence. 



Vitis uvd longiori, acinis raris, nigro-rubentibus, subausteris. 



This vine is cultivated in the vineyards of Provence, where 

 it is known by the second title given above. It does not make 

 much wood, and its branches are generally very short. The 

 fruit does not yield very good wine.
