Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the early maturity group. Due to later bud burst, it better withstands spring frosts. The leaf is five-lobed, medium-dissected, and bullate. A characteristic feature is the dense white pubescence on the underside of young leaves and shoots, resembling flour. Bunches are medium, dense, with small dark blue berries with thick skin.

The variety is considered undemanding, however, it is susceptible to powdery mildew and grey mold. As a wine variety, it is primarily used in the production of sparkling wines, imparting notes of apple, pear, peach, and red berries, and also facilitating the rapid maturation of wines.
