Variety description

10 August 2026

The term pigna describes a growth stage of the plant where internal shoots are tightly clustered, forming a compact shape. Plants of this type have long, dark green, serrated leaves and prominent white petioles.

This type of chicory is an early-maturing plant and forms an upright, voluminous bush. Young crunchy shoots, which possess the bitter taste characteristic of the crop, are consumed.

This is a traditional landrace of Italian origin, which has no specific originator and belongs to the public domain category.
