Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has a medium vigor and a spherical crown of medium density. The leaves are elliptical in shape, colored light green on top and gray-green on the bottom. The variety is early-maturing, ripening 7–10 days earlier than the base variety Leccino.

The plant enters production in the 2nd–3rd year after planting and demonstrates high productivity, exceeding the yield of Leccino by 20–40%. The fruits have an elliptical shape, an average weight of 3–6 g, and change color to dark purple upon ripening.

The variety possesses increased frost resistance and resistance to the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. The fruits are suitable both for the production of 'light fruity' category oil and for consumption as table olives. The structure of the tree allows for the efficient use of mechanized harvesting.
