Vine Training
Ripening occurs between the end of July and early August. It can be considered a caloric fruit because it contains very digestible simple sugars but it is not so filling. It also contains vitamins (C, PP, and B vitamins), organic acids, mineral salts and further substances like tannins, flavonoids and anthocyanins. It has energizing, refreshing, purifying, remineralizing, diuretic, laxative and cholagogue effects. The conservation temperature is 4- 6 °C and it can resist long journeys.
Production Techniques
The attention is focused on the nutritive aspects of the vine. The plantation in a sunny place is a prerogative and it is grown in dry, loose and quiet fertilized soils. The growing systems adopted are the vertical trellis system or the pergola trellis system. The supports used are wooden or cement stakes and zinced wires are linked to it at different height.
