Sanguinello Moscato Nucelar

This is a nuclear selection of Sanguinello Moscato obtained in 1949 in Acireale (Sicily, Italy), with the aim of establishing the type cultivar for its subsequent geographical designation. Sanguinellos are one of three pigmented orange varieties originating from Sicily, along with Tarocco and Moro. In fact, Tarocco is an early mutation of a common Sanguinello. The Sanguinello Moscato is characterized by having medium acidity, which gives it great value among pigmented oranges, making it the most important Sanguinello cultivar in Sicily.

Very vigorous and productive tree, with long shoots that form a rounded and symmetrical canopy. Medium-sized fruits with spherical morphology tending to have a flattened apex. Thin and smooth bark, bright orange in color with wine-red pigmented areas. Melting pulp with red pigmentation corresponding to the exterior color; moderately juicy. Fruity and sweet flavor.

High-quality variety for fresh consumption and homemade juice production.
