Variety description

10 August 2026

Russello is a tall variety, with stems that can reach nearly two meters in height. The plant's powerful root system ensures strong competitiveness against weeds and high resistance to drought conditions and poor soils. Due to its great stem height, the variety is susceptible to lodging.

The variety is a population consisting of various lines, such as 'Russello Ibleo' and 'Russello SG8'. The potential yield of the variety is lower than that of modern commercial varieties. The grain is characterized by a high protein content and is used for the production of traditional bread and pasta.

The gluten index of the variety is less than 55%. Flour from this grain is often produced using stone mills and is used in organic agriculture. The characteristics of the variety may vary depending on the specific ecotype and growing location.
