ITALIAN HEIRLOOM. This is an early-ripening, tall tomato variety known for its high yield and strong disease resistance. It stands out for its earliness—first ripe fruits appear almost at the same time as on early dwarf varieties, making it a great find for gardeners seeking an early harvest. Requires staking and shaping.
In open ground, the plant reaches a height of about 1.5 meters, forming a strong yet compact bush with good foliage and a sturdy stem. Fruits are large, weighing between 200 and 500 grams, bright red with attractive yellow shoulders at the beginning of ripening. Shape is round or round-heart-shaped.
VARIETY CHARACTERISTICS
The tomatoes are dense and meaty, with a juicy texture and few seeds. They have a very pleasant, rich flavor with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Ideal for fresh eating, salads, sauces, and tomato juice. This variety is an Italian family heirloom. It has been known in Italy for a long time and is very popular there due to its exceptional flavor.
Italian gardeners and chefs give it consistently positive reviews. In 2012, it won the Seed Savers Exchange tomato tasting and was recognized as one of the favorites at the Carmel TomatoFest in the USA. This confirms its outstanding flavor profile and makes it a top choice for both collectors and practical growers.
