10 August 2026
The variety is autochthonous to Italy and is historically associated with the Lazio region and the island of Sardinia. The fruits ripen in the second ten-day period of May, which is reflected in the name of the variety, derived from the Italian word "maggio" (May).
The fruits are characterized by medium to large size, juicy flesh, and a flavor with a slight acidity. The variety is suitable for fresh consumption and industrial processing. Genetically, the variety has an S1S6 S-genotype, which determines compatibility for pollination.
