The names Madonna di giugno, Madonna di luglio, and Madonna di agosto have been historically used in Calabria and Sicily to denote local nectarine varieties ripening in the respective months. The local population often refers to these fruits as merendella or sbergia.
These varieties are the result of centuries of traditional selection dating back to the 16th century. The crop is a white-fleshed nectarine; the fruit skin may have a greenish hue. Agronomic data on plant height and disease resistance are unavailable, as these are not standardized commercial varieties.
