Can anyone recommend a fast growing variety of grape vine to cover our newly constructed pergola to provide shade.  Sweet grapes foreating (not winemaking) would be a bonus but what we really need is ombra and lots of it! We are way up in the Apuan Alps so winter is pretty cold and wet but we are currently roasting!

We are at 450 meters with cold, wet winters, maintain a small vineyard of wine grapes, and use Fragola Americana for screening and visual privacy. They grow quickly, have large leaves, and seem to be more disease resistant than other types.Fred
