Maurino

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Originating from the Lucca area, the maurino is an olive cultivar widespread across much of Italian territory, though especially common in central Italy. It has medium vigour, erect main branches, and a moderately closed, dense canopy with drooping branches whose tips rise. Besides being quite hardy, its diffusion is also due to its abundant pollen production, which often serves many other varieties, including Moraiolo and Pendolino; in turn, it is well pollinated by moraiolo, grappolo, pendolino, lezzero, leccino and frantoio.
