Discover the grape variety: Calitor
Calitor is a black grape variety of Provençal origin that is not widely grown in France. It is only cultivated on a little more than a hundred hectares in total. The main characteristic of this variety is its bent stalk. Its adult leaves have 5 lobes and angular teeth. The leaf blade is both pubescent and downy. The young leaves have a pinkish tinge, especially in autumn. They are also downy. The tip of the calitor branch is cottony. Calitor is a recommended grape variety in the departments of Vaucluse and Var and is authorized in others such as Gard, Drôme and Ardèche. It has two variants, namely the grey calitor and the white calitor. The calitor is matured only 35 days after the chasselas but it is very productive. It appreciates hot and dry soils. This variety is resistant to oidium, but it remains sensitive to grey rot and mildew. Calitor produces a light, low-alcohol wine with little colour.
