The olive is pruinose with numerous lenticels. When fully ripe, it is characterized by a dark wine-red color, with numerous yellowish-green spots and a characteristic dark dot in the center. The end-head is elliptical in shape, slightly asymmetrical with its maximum diameter towards the apex, a rough surface, and numerous fibrovascular bundles (>10). The cross-section is elliptical, the apex is pointed with a mucro, and the base is rounded. The 2-3 year-old shoots are yellowish-green in color. It is self-fertile but benefits from cross-pollination. In the historic olive groves of the Tiber Valley, it is intercropped with the Olivo Gentile di Anghiari. The cultivar is cold-resistant with highly consistent production. Cultivation techniques are similar to those of other cultivars.<\/p>\n
