Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a mutation of the American grape variety Cardinal and belongs to the table grape group. The plant is characterized by an early ripening period, which can be further accelerated when grown in plastic greenhouses.

The variety is susceptible to major fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, and grey mold, requiring regular preventive treatments. It is a woody vine that requires the installation of supports and specific training.

When following agronomic practices, ensuring proper irrigation levels, and providing correct care, the variety produces clusters and berries with high-quality commercial characteristics. It is used in scientific research on soil-less cultivation methods and growing in protected ground.
