Gocciolino cluster tomato is an elongated, date-shaped variety with high sugar content and an unmistakable flavour.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate, vigorous, well-aerated plant with short internodes.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant between April and May, once temperatures are steadily above 10°C.
It prefers sturdy staking given its vigorous growth; removing side shoots and regular watering help produce abundant, even clusters.
The truss carries numerous small, elongated fruits arranged fishbone-style, harvested gradually as they turn deep red.
It benefits from good ventilation between plants and mulching to limit weeds and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Thanks to its intense aroma and distinctly sweet flavour, superior to cherry tomatoes, it is perfect fresh, as a snack and in salads.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, Gocciolino tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
