THE CATALOGUE » Traditional Table Grapes » Matilde
Notes
In 1962 prof. Manzo of the Fruit-growing Experimental Institute of Rome, obtained this variety by crossing the Italia and Cardinal grapes.
AMPELOGRAPHIC CHARACTERS
Medium-large oval bunch, its weight goes from 700 to 800 gr. Very large, round-shaped berry. Crisp pulp with an aromatic flavour. Thick, consistent pruinous peel with a golden yellow colour.
CULTIVATION CHARACTERS
Its vigour is very good, prefers big growing and a not very long pruning. Among all early but with seed varieties, the Matilde is one of the most important ones, although today, it is not much appreciated by consumers.
PRODUCTION AND RIPENING
The production is good and constant.
The ripening is early: beginning of August.
