Description

The sweet pepper variety 'Marconi Rosso' (also Long Red Marconi) is a traditional Italian variety with pointed bright red fruits. These are about 15-20 cm long, thin-skinned and with small chambers. It is best to harvest at the transition stage to maturity, then you will have crisp and aromatic pods with an excellent flavor. This old Italian variety is very productive. A good variety for antipasti.
