History & Origin: A premium European selection originating from the South Tyrol region of Italy. It is a highly stable, refined sport derived from the original Gala Schniga Schnitzer lineage. Qualities & Sizing: Stands out as a premier performer for exceptional fruit size. It naturally produces a wider, blockier, and more squat fruit shape. This blocky architecture allows it to consistently outperform more elongated clones in raw lateral diameter and box weight under identical thinning regimes. Climate & Color Stability: Highly stable against genetic reversion. It develops elegant, dark-red stripes very early over a clean background wash. Because it initiates coloring early, it manages to bypass the worst of the late-summer warm night blocks, holding its crisp flesh matrix beautifully without getting greasy.
