The variety is of folk origin and is historically distributed in the Umbria region. The name translates as “rattle apple” because the seeds separate from the core upon reaching maturity, which creates a characteristic noise when the fruit is shaken.
The tree is distinguished by high vigor and a vertically directed canopy. The flowers are gathered in clusters of six, have light pink buds, and an average corolla diameter of about 44 mm.
The average fruit weight is about 160 g, and the shape is ellipsoidal. The skin is smooth, with a greenish-yellow ground color and a purple-red blush. The flesh is white, of medium density.
Flowering occurs in April, and harvesting takes place in mid-September. The variety is rare, is not used in commercial orcharding, and is preserved as a genetic resource in private gardens and germplasm banks.
