This is a group of traditional, often ancient peach varieties that were historically grown in winemaking regions, for example, in Piedmont in Italy and the Moselle River valley in Germany. Traditionally, these trees were planted next to vineyards.
The plants are characterized by low or medium height. The fruits are usually small, with an intense aroma and often pubescent skin of a red-yellow color. The flesh can be white, yellow, or greenish, and is characterized by a high sugar content and a pronounced flavor.
These varieties are a product of folk selection that has adapted to specific local conditions over the centuries. The fruits are used for fresh consumption, making jams, preservation in syrup, and in cooking.
