Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a local genotype, not a result of directed breeding, and is part of the genetic diversity of chestnuts in the Apennine region.

The fruits of the variety are highly valued in cooking, particularly for preparing roasted chestnuts, and are also suitable for producing high-quality chestnut flour.

Detailed agronomic characteristics of the tree and fruits are absent in open publications; however, the variety is mentioned in studies focused on its susceptibility to fungal pathogens, including Gnomoniopsis castaneae.
