Ampelographic characters:
the variety is characterised with a good variability. The bud has an expanded, fluffy, green-whitish apex with slight pink shades. The large, pentagonal, three-lobed leaf has a closed V-U shaped petiolar sinus. The underside is sub-hairless. The medium-to-large, elongated cluster of pyramidal shape has two small wings, and is medium compact. The berry is medium-sized, has a thick and coriaceous skin and a pulp with neutral taste.
Cultural aptitude:
vine of good vigour with drooping growth habit. It prefers light or weakly clayey, permeable soils and dry and ventilated climates.
Training system and pruning:
