Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is distinguished by high vigor and a semi-erect habit, entering production in the 3–4th year. The variety possesses high winter hardiness and the ability to withstand temperature fluctuations, while mid-late flowering reduces the risk of damage from spring frosts.

Fruits of round shape with light brown shell ripen in the second half of August or early September. The medium-sized kernel possesses an intense sweet taste and aroma, with a kernel percentage of 45–48%. The variety is suitable for the confectionery industry due to the ease of skin removal during roasting and long shelf life.

To ensure cross-pollination and high fruit set, proximity to the varieties Nocchione, Camponica, Daria, Mortarella, Tonda Gentile, Ennis, Barcelona, and Butler is recommended.
