Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and understated aromas of citrus and white flowers. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, it belongs to the heritage varieties whose commercial diffusion has almost disappeared and which are studied for their genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented white variety cultivated in negligible quantities.
