Bud-burst period: early.
Ripening period: everage.
Yield: everage and regular.
Ampelographic characters:
the bud has a cottony white apex with carminate shades. The leaf is orbicular, three- or five-lobed with opened or little-opened petiolar sinus. The underside is slightly hairy. The medium-small, truncated-conical cluster is sometimes winged, tending to be compact. The small spheroid berry has a thick skin and an aromatic pulp.
Cultural aptitudes:
vigorous vine, with upright growth habit; it prefers warm climates but not too dry, and not too fertile soils, deep, even slightly calcareous.
Training system and pruning:
it can be conveniently trained on espalier, better if on Guyot, with long pruning or spurred cordon with spurs of 3-4 buds. To obtain high quality products, it is necessary to adopt a high planting density.
Susceptibility to diseases and adverse conditions:
everage.
Enological potential:
it produces very aromatic wines with a prevalence of ripe fruits (peach, apricot), complex, of good structure and great quality. Sometimes they are lacking in acidity and have a bitterish aftertaste. Also suitable for blending (5-10%) with other wines there it adds aroma and structure.
Clones in propagation:
Viognier VCR154, VCR156, VCR192, VCR272, Inra-Entav 642.
