Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has ancient origins and has been known since the 14th century. The vine is delicate, the flower is hermaphroditic. Bunches are small, conical, medium density or loose. Berries are medium, round or slightly oval, dark pink or purple in color, with very thin and translucent skin.

The variety belongs to the early maturity group. It is extremely susceptible to fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, and grey rot. Due to early bud break, the vine is vulnerable to spring frosts, and the thin skin of the berries is sensitive to sunburn. The variety is also prone to flower and ovary drop.

A wine grape variety intended for the production of red, rosé, white, and sparkling wines, often in blends with Pinot noir and Trousseau varieties. The wines are distinguished by their light color, lightness, elegance, and complex aromatics with notes of red berries, flowers, and earthy undertones.
