Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by crossing the Rapella and Selva varieties. The plant forms compact bushes with upright flower stalks and moderate growth vigor. Regular removal of runners during the summer period is required to maintain productivity.

The berries have a conical shape and a weight starting from 35 g. The flesh is juicy and fleshy, the taste is sweet and sour with a pronounced aroma. The variety has moderate resistance to wilting, is sensitive to powdery mildew on leaves, while exhibiting sufficient frost resistance and tolerates summer heat when irrigated.

The variety is versatile and suitable for both private cultivation and commercial use due to the stable size of the fruit and high transportability.
