The bunch is medium-sized, cylindro-conical, of medium density. Berries are medium, round, dark blue in color with a waxy bloom, the pulp is juicy with a harmonious taste and colored juice.

The plant possesses high resistance to arid conditions and heat, while being characterized by susceptibility to frosts and fungal diseases. The yield of the variety is usually low and depends on growing conditions. Traditionally, the alberello bush training system is used.
