When we decided how to name our house, we thought about the typical agricultural tradition of the Valle di Non, which has its roots in the cultivation of apples. In a garden close by to Villa Belfiore, there is the “Belfiore di Ronzone”, an ancient apple type, originated from one single specimen in 1920 and long confused with the apple type “Belfiore Giallo”. Experts of the “Associazione Spadona di Ronzone”, an association which deals with the restoration and valorisation of ancient fruit types, examined this unique type of apple found in 1998 and they immediately knew that the fruits of the apple could not be of the “Belfiore Giallo”. DNA analysis confirmed their intuition: it was a new apple type, probably originated in a spontaneous mutation of the “Belfiore Giallo”, hence called “Belfiore di Ronzone”. Some seedlings, obtained by taking a sample of the mother plant, have been planted around the garden of Villa Belfiore. The fruit has an intense flavour and smell, a full taste, a little bit acidic and spicy. The flavour remains in the mouth long after it has been tasted.
