Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is considered local to the Genga municipality in the province of Ancona. Genetically, it is classified as a possible clone of the Calville group, likely related to the White Winter Calville variety. Currently, the variety is at risk of extinction and is included in biodiversity conservation programs.

The fruits are characterized by compact, juicy, whitish flesh with a sweet and aromatic taste. Precise agronomic data on the tree, such as height, yield, or disease resistance, are absent from public sources, as the variety is grown under traditional conditions rather than in commercial horticulture.
