The variety is a wine grape used for the production of white wines, often in blends. Genetically, it is identical to the Spanish variety Albillo Mayor and has the synonym Picadillo. It is important not to confuse it with the Galician and Argentine varieties Torrontés, to which it is not related.
The plant is characterized by early budburst and ripening, which makes it sensitive to spring frosts. It has moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew and low susceptibility to Botrytis and downy mildew. The bunches are medium-sized and compact, the berries are round, acquire a golden hue with dark spots upon ripening, and have a very thin skin.
Wines from this variety have a straw-yellow color with greenish highlights, high acidity, and a low pH level. The aroma includes notes of apple and light herbal tones. The chemical composition is characterized by a high level of tartaric acid and low potassium content; the storage potential of the wines is estimated as medium-short.
