CLUSTERS AND BERRIES
Medium-large and dense cluster. Medium-sized berry.
PESTS AND DISEASES
Sensitive to vine moths and botrytis in spring time; slightly sensitive to mildew and oidium.
AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS
Medium vigour, drought resistant. Its tendency to coulure has been corrected by clonal selection of the variety.
