Variety description

10 August 2026

The name comes from the Italian word meaning hair or down, and indicates the pubescence of the fruit epicarp. This group of varieties historically formed as a result of folk selection in the Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont regions.

PELOSA varieties are valued for their large fruit size. These include variations such as Pelosa di Vaie, Pelosa Grossa, and Pelosa Piccola. Due to the lack of a standardized industrial variety status, exact agrotechnical indicators vary depending on the specific clone and growing conditions.
