Then, as time goes by, small green berries are gradually added to the vine. This curtain is completed by the light green of the medium-sized leaves.servanin is fertile and robust. Its only weak points are millerandage, citadels and mildew. It is less susceptible to grey rot. Although it buds early, it ripens rather late, in the second half of the year.
