Ampelographic characters:

the variety is quite homogeneous, differential characteristics are about cluster shape and compactness. The bud has a medium-expanded, a bit fluffy, pale green apex with bronzed shades towards the edges. The leaf is medium-sized, pentagonal and five-lobed; flat, slightly wrinkly, opaque green flap with fluffy lower side. The petiolar sinus is U- or lyre-shaped, sometimes with overlapping edges. The medium, semi-compact, conical, cylindrical, winged cluster carries a medium-sized, spheroid, blue-violet berry with a visible navel and a thick pruinose skin. The fleshy pulp has a simple taste.

Cultural aptitudes:

vine of good vigour with drooping growth habit. Robust shoots with medium internodes. Adaptable to any type of soil in warm climates.

Training system and pruning:

suitable to all systems of training and pruning. The implementation of integral mechanization is not a problem.

Susceptibility to diseases and adverse conditions:

average, a little susceptible to powdery mildew; in warm seasons it is susceptible to sunburn of the berries.

Enological potential:

On the nose, notes of ripe red fruit prevail; on the palate, hints of spice and liquorice emerge. It is a well-structured wine with good flavour and aromatic persistence. Ideal for vinification as a single varietal, possibly with a period of ageing in barrique to soften its tannic component.
