I've grown Grappoli D'Inverno AKA Pomodoro Gatalina from Seeds from Italy.
They're a smaller plum shape without the nipple that Pomodorino Vesuviano has.

Oh cr#p, I just realized I planted the determinate Principe Borghese, not the good indeterminate variety.

I have seeds of Fiaschetto di Manduria, but haven't grown it yet, from what I've read it's from Southern Puglia....on the east coast of Italy...while Pomodorino vesuviano is grown only in the Vesuvius area which is on the west coast.
It should be interesting to compare them.

Fingers crossed!

With any luck, I'll have some in the ground next spring.

Here's a YouTube video showing how they form the clusters......

ROSSO VESUVIO Pomodorino del Piennolo del vesuvio.

Good news!

The Piennolo del Vesuvio seeds have arrived along with a paste tomato named Bernardini and another tomato from Garfagnana.

I'll have to ask my mom about that tomato. She's from Naples, and in fact, I was born there on the now closed Naval Base, so I'd love to grow some myself. Looks really delightful too!

Dig,

are there any news about your experience with Vesuvio? What was its leaf type and productions?
