Canino is a variety native to Lazio extreme-north, especially to the municipalities of Canino, Ischia di Castro, Farnese, Tessennano. It is spread in the area of Alto Viterbese, a particular part of Lazio that is distinguished by tuffaceous soils, usually acidulous, with winter falls and hot and dry summers.

It has a high productivity but also an alternate bearing. Drupes are or of a small size (sometimes they don’t even weight 1g), they ripen late and gradually and never have a complete veraison. They are quite resistant to detachment.
