The variety is an ancient local representative of traditional selection from the Tuscany region, Italy. The fruits belong to the 'Cotogna' group, which indicates a firm, fleshy texture of the flesh, comparable to quince. The name 'Precoce' indicates an earlier ripening period relative to the base variety 'Cotogna del Poggio'.
The fruits have a high content of soluble solids and antioxidants. The variety is traditionally used as a dessert fruit and is also suitable for processing. In scientific literature, the variety is mentioned in studies concerning susceptibility to peach leaf curl.
