Fiaschetto cluster tomato is a traditional variety grouped in compact clusters, with elongated fruits slightly narrowed at the centre, resembling a small flask.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate-growth plant requiring staking, productive with numerous clusters along the whole stem.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 25°C; transplant into the field after the last frosts.
It prefers fertile, well-drained soil, sunny exposure and regular watering; the plant needs staking and side-shoot removal to support fruiting along the cluster.
Harvest the cluster once most fruits have reached full colouring, so as to also showcase its visually striking appearance at the table.
It can be affected by downy mildew, alternaria and blossom-end rot in case of irregular watering; crop rotation and good ventilation help prevent the main plant diseases.
Perfect kept whole on the cluster for its long shelf life, or eaten fresh in salads thanks to its sweet flavour and juicy flesh.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, fiaschetto tomato has antioxidant properties and an excellent balance between sweetness and acidity.
