Cluster of medium or small size, semi-loose, conical, winged with one or two wings, with small/medium berry, round, thick skin, very pruinose, violet-black in color, juicy pulp, soft, sweet, colorless or pinkish. The variety has medium-good vigor and medium, consistent production. Colorino VCR64 produces blending wines, highly coloring with excellent total acidity, structured, savory and fruity.
