Cultivation aptitudes
An early-ripening vine that produces well-structured, attractive wines with a beautiful, bright, impenetrable ruby red colour that slowly fades to garnet with age. Intense and generous, it usually gives us aromas of plum, cherry, blueberry, violet, tomato leaves and humus, as well as herbaceous, spicy and balsamic notes that are often confirmed on the palate.
Raising and pruning
It requires tighter forms of cultivation and medium-short pruning.
It is therefore suitable for full mechanisation as long as certain environmental conditions are respected, especially in the northernmost parts of the growing area.

Production
Medium to good and fairly constant in both short and medium-long pruning.
Sensitivity to diseases
Somewhat sensitive to powdery mildew, prone to green millerandage. Good resistance to late frosts.
Oenological potential
It gives a wine of intense ruby red colour, with a characteristic, vinous bouquet, dry, fruity, tannic, non-acidic, full-bodied, velvety, rightly alcoholic.
White vinification produces an excellent rosé wine, sapid, fruity and very pleasant.
