The variety is a landrace from the island of Sardinia, possessing an alternative growth habit and a long vegetation cycle. The plant is characterized by a tall stem, an erect habit, and a good level of tillering. The ear is long, lax, pyramidal in shape, and equipped with long awns; the grain has a red color.
This variety is characterized as very rustic, adapted to cultivation on poor soils with low requirements for fertilizers. It is traditionally used for baking bread and preparing local dishes. Modern research notes its potential in craft beer production due to a specific profile of cereal and honey notes in the flavor.
