This Italian heirloom variety from the Tuscany region produces loads of bright red tomatoes with terrific flavor. Tomatoes are typically about 8 ounces, but may be larger, with a smooth shape rather than the heavily ribbed shape typical of Costoluto Genovese. The flavor is high in sugar, but also high in acid, making for outstanding taste that's wonderful fresh or made into sauces. Indeterminate. 80 days. These large plants grow to 6-7 feet tall and are vigorous and disease resistant.
Plant in full sun in soil that is amended with compost and an organic fertilizer that is not too high in nitrogen. Support these large plants with tall tomato cages and space plants at least 3 feet apart.
Harvest when fruits are fully red and slightly soft to the touch. The tomates are great eaten raw right out of the garden. They are also tasty in salads and make a great pasta sauce.
