The rose of Gorizia, radicchio considered among the most valuable among vegetables, is now known all over the world and much appreciated by gourmet cuisine. We are talking about a variety of chicory characterized by an intense red color or with shades tending to pink, depending on the type of selection.
It looks like a large open rose with a slightly bitter and slightly crunchy taste and now recognized by the Region Friuli Venezia Giulia as Traditional Agri-food Product (PAT). This particular type of radicchio is also called late because it is produced in the winter and destined for trade only after a rather long processing phase.
