Variety description

10 August 2026

Fruits of this type are medium-sized, weighing from 1 to 1.5 kg. Upon ripening, the smooth skin acquires yellowish shades, and the flesh is distinguished by high sweetness and a pronounced aroma. The plant is characterized by good vigor and adaptation to various growing conditions, including protected cultivation.

This name has been used historically in Italy to designate Charentais-type melon varieties. The fruits are intended for fresh consumption. Under this name, various modern hybrids (F1) corresponding to the external and taste characteristics of the group may be sold on the market.
