Why is it feminine?

Uve is feminine in Italian because it derives from Latin "uva" (feminine), which belongs to the first declension (-a ending) nouns that were typically feminine in Latin—a gender pattern that carried forward into Romance languages. The Latin etymon itself likely has Indo-European roots, though the original gender assignment appears arbitrary rather than rule-based.
