BELMONTE, Italy. A high-yielding variety. One of the undisputed favorites every season. Produces large clusters of heavy fruits weighing 400–800 g. According to many sources, fruits can be even larger. The fruits are round-heart-shaped, with fine ribbing across the surface up to the top. Yellow shoulders are typical, which fade as the fruit fully ripens. The flesh is dense and almost juice-free.

The flavor is sweet and mild, with a pleasant tang depending on the harvest time. Especially delicious when harvested slightly underripe at the end of the season for ripening indoors. Some fruits can reach up to 1 kg. Large, juicy fruits are ideal for fresh salads, sandwiches, and various dishes. They also make tasty, aromatic juices and smoothies. Shows resistance to verticillium and fusarium.

I grew this variety outdoors. The fruits are pink, slightly ribbed, and of the salad type. They weigh around 500 grams, and are sweet and delicious.

I grew it outdoors under hoops with covering material. It reached a height of about 1.5 meters. It's mid-early and started ripening in the 20s of August. The taste seemed ordinary to me - tomatoey with a slight sweetness. The color is pink.

I grow it in a greenhouse. The height exceeds 2 meters. Under the greenhouse roof, it’s covered with large fruit clusters. The leaves are large and simple. I train it into two stems. I sow seeds in early March and transplant into the soil (greenhouse) around the 20th of April. My impressions of the variety are only positive - it became a permanent resident as soon as I tried it. Thank you for such a wonderful variety! 😊🙏

I’ve been growing it every year since I first got it in 2022. The fruits are very large — some reach up to 900 grams. Even the top branches produce sizable fruits of 500–550 grams. It’s juicy, disease-resistant, and mainly used for juice and sauces — but it's also excellent fresh.

I'm growing this variety for the first time. It was planted near the entrance of the greenhouse, where it gets enough space and light. The plant is tall and strong. It started growing in three stems — I couldn’t prune it in time, but it turned out neat because I tied the stems slightly above their branching point with twine like a bouquet.

I not only tie my tomato plants to the top of the greenhouse but also support them with bamboo stakes for extra stability. I didn’t limit the number of fruits. It set over twenty tomatoes from bottom to top — of various sizes, many large ones, but none were very small. The tomatoes are flat-round with ribbing near the stem. At first, the yellow shoulders scared me, but they disappeared as the fruits ripened — I also fed the plant with potassium.

The clusters were heavy, so I had to tie them up several times. When fully ripe, the tomatoes turned a bright raspberry-pink color. They’re beauties, very aromatic! The flesh is juicy, and the taste is excellent with noticeable sweetness. For those who love juice and homemade paste — it’s a real gem! I’ll definitely keep growing it.
