Variety description

10 August 2026

An early-maturing variety that ripens approximately two days after the variety «Shiro». The tree is characterized by medium vigor and an intermediate habit. The fruits are medium-sized, ranging from 50 to 55 grams, and have a heart shape.

The fruit skin is purple-red, while the flesh has an intense yellow hue, high firmness, and a sugar content of 13–15 degrees Brix. The variety is intended for fresh consumption.

The variety is self-compatible; however, for more stable yields, the presence of pollinators such as «Sorriso di Primavera» or «Mirabolano» is recommended. Studies have been conducted on the variety's susceptibility to Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum.
