How is Chianti Rose?

Vince · April 21, 2007

Was just looking at tomato fests web site and noticed this one. Is it any good? Most Brandywine crosses seem interesting to me.

Flavor was very good but most had heavy radial cracking... most were about a pound.

Another very good tasting Brandywine cross was Red Rose (BW x Rutger's.) Much more uniform without the radial cracking, 8-12 oz with a few 1lb+ boat-shaped fruits:

I like Chianti Rose. I have not had any cracking on the tomatoes. Pretty sturdy plant, no disease problems. Excellent taste. I recommend it. Your taste may be different.
