This designation is not a variety in the strict breeding sense, but denotes a group of heirloom varieties. These trees were traditionally planted between rows of grapevines and served as indicators of vineyard health due to their high susceptibility to powdery mildew.
The fruits are usually medium or small in size with grayish-purple or burgundy skin and characteristic deep crimson flesh. In terms of flavor, they are distinguished by a sweet-and-sour taste and a raspberry aroma; however, due to poor transportability and a short shelf life, they are rarely found in commercial production.
The plants ripen between August and October, which often coincides with the grape harvest. The group is characterized by susceptibility to leaf curl and powdery mildew, requiring regular preventive treatments.
