Overview
Carmagnola Rosso is an early Italian sweet pepper from the Piedmont town of Carmagnola, famous for its peppers. The fruit are large bells with thick walls and thin skin, slightly pointed at the end, and they ripen to red. Maturity is around 65 days from transplant, quick for a large-fruited pepper. Thin skin and thick flesh make it a natural for roasting and peeling, and for the Piedmontese preparations of peppers in oil or with bagna cauda.
