Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is hairy like a cobweb. The young leaves are almost hairless.
  • The large leaves are five-lobed and barely curved. The stem bay is open in a U-shape. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth are medium in size compared to other varieties.
