Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has medium vigor and a semi-upright canopy, and enters the fruiting period quickly. Flowers are characterized by an early or mid-late blooming period depending on climatic conditions.

Fruits have a round or round-cordate shape and a diameter of about 30–32 mm. The skin is a deep carmine-red color, and the flesh is red, firm, juicy, with a high sugar content and low acidity.

The variety matures 25–29 days after the Burlat variety. It shows low sensitivity to Monilinia and medium resistance to fruit cracking in rainy weather.
