The Late Peach “di Leonforte PGI”, also called "Settembrina", is cultivated with a centuries-old tradition made of natural crossings between local late varieties exclusive to our territory. The most common cultivars are yellow-fleshed, but there are also white-fleshed ones.
They are late peaches because they ripen in September and October, when the other national varieties have already finished their production some time ago. a peculiarity that distinguishes Leonfort peach growing is the practice of bagging the individual fruits, still on the tree, starting from the second half of June. 

This is to protect the fruits, still unripe, from all external factors,   be they the climatic weather that the attack of insects and parasites (in particular from the deposition of eggs by the fly of the fruit; the bag will preserve the peach until complete   maturation. In this way the use of any   chemical product is totally excluded.

The fruit is therefore naturally protected inside its bag of   parchment paper that will accompany it until harvest, offering   at the same time a fruit without defects or external imperfections that   will ripen better and keep inside the tile its incomparable perfume and aroma
