The Latin language is the source of the Italian word 'uve'. The word is a feminine noun that means 'grapes' in both languages. In Italian, it's pronounced 'OO-veh'. In Latin, it's spelled 'uvae' and pronounced 'oo-weye'* according to classical pronunciation rules. In liturgical Latin, the spelling's the same, but the pronunciation becomes 'oo-veh'.

*The sound 'eye' is similar to the sound in the English noun 'eye'.
