Every autumn in Tuscan wine country, wine grapes become ready for harvest. This season is very busy for this region of Italy, and many like to celebrate the harvest with a traditional delicacy called "schiacciata all'uva," or grape focaccia.
Focaccia is a savory Italian bread that is typically used for sandwiches or a quick snack. But in this recipe, the savory base of the bread is made sweet with the addition of wine grapes. During baking, the tangy taste of the grapes mellows into a jam-like sweetness. As a result, this seasonal flatbread has the hearty, yeasty taste of focaccia but is ultimately a sweet treat.
