Discover the grape variety: Cornichon blanc

A very old variety that has been multiplied in many Mediterranean wine-producing countries, due to the fact that its grapes ripen quite late. It is only in Italy and Greece that it still occupies a significant area. In France, it is only found among amateur gardeners and/or collectors. By its foliage in particular, the white gherkin is different from the purple gherkin this last one is given as very little sensitive to the grey rot.
