This variety transitions from a deep green to a brilliant ruby red, offering a candy-like sweetness that is world-renowned for roasting and stuffing. Originally developed in the Asti region of Italy, it is prized by gardeners for its vigorous growth and heavy yields of gourmet-quality bell peppers.
