The plant has medium vigor and high flower productivity, with approximately 50% single inflorescences. The flowering period coincides with the Dorì variety and occurs on average 10 days earlier than in the Hayward variety. Male varieties FMM1 and FMMX1 are recommended for effective pollination.

The fruits are cylindrical in shape with a conical taper and reach a weight of over 100 g. The flesh is intensely yellow with a greenish tint under the skin. The dry matter content exceeds 18%, and the sweetness level reaches 17–18 degrees Brix. In Northern Italy, ripening occurs in the last ten days of September.
