Lycopersicon esculentum
Piennolo Rosso is a traditional Italian heirloom tomato originating from the Campania region. Known for centuries for its rich flavour, small oval fruits, and exceptional keeping qualities, it has been cultivated as a long-keeping tomato prized by families for winter use.
With thick skin and concentrated flesh, these tomatoes are perfect for long-term storage, slowly developing a sweet, complex flavour over several months. Traditionally, the fruit is harvested by the truss and hung in cool, ventilated spaces, allowing flavour to deepen while maintaining excellent texture.
An indeterminate variety, Piennolo Rosso produces abundant clusters of bright red fruits and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. Perfect for gardeners who want a heritage tomato with remarkable flavour and storability, it bridges the gap between summer harvest and winter pantry.
These storage tomato seeds are available directly from Garden Faerie Botanicals in the heart of British Columbia, Canada. The collection features heirloom and heritage seeds that are personally cultivated organically without the use of any chemicals. Emphasizing historical, rare, non-GMO seeds, this selection preserves biodiversity through open-pollination.
