Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is native to the Sardinia region, Italy. The tree is characterized by low vigor, with growth habits ranging from spreading to upright. The variety is self-compatible and bears fruit on spurs. Harvesting is early to mid-season.

The fruits are large in size, with a kernel weight of approximately 1.6 g. The shape of the kernels is round, the surface is smooth, and double kernels are extremely rare (0–1%).

The variety possesses specific physiological responses to water stress that distinguish it from commercial varieties. It is used both for fresh consumption and in the confectionery industry for the production of sweets.
