Does Anybody know anything about these fig varieties?

Hi everyone,


I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about any of these varieties? I just got cuttings of these, but do not see much, if any info on them on the variety pages or in a search of the forum.

Would like to know interior/exterior colors, although if anyone has grown them and could share any personal information on them, that would be great too :)

A large tree; the fruit develops superficial white breaks in the skin; in Liguria it ripens about the middle of August (along with Negretta). The name is derived from the practice of letting the figs shrivel on the tree like raisins, which results in an outstanding flavor. Also formerly grown in Canton Ticino, Switzerland.SCIT
