Two flowerings, two names
The specification distinguishes Agostani, also called Latini, from the first flowering, and Scozzolati from the second. These flowering groups are separate from the yellow, red and white cultivars.
Try it in the kitchen
Our suggestion: serve the prepared, peeled fruit in a small tasting plate, comparing the three cultivar colours when you can.
