Variety description

10 August 2026

The Luccichente variety, also known as Luccichente di Santa Fiora, is a local Italian variety common in the Tuscany region, particularly in the provinces of Grosseto and Siena, as well as in the Colline Metallifere area. The variety was formed through folk selection and is the subject of research on biodiversity conservation.

In terms of maturity, this chestnut is characterized as late-maturing. The fruits of the variety are of interest to consumers and confectionery manufacturers due to their taste qualities and high sugar content. Detailed agronomic indicators and data on resistance to specific diseases are absent in open sources.
