5.   Amendment(s)

Description of product

| — | The indication of the weight of both varieties of the fruit is deleted from the product specification. The weight of the fruit directly correlates to the diameter, so this information is superfluous as the minimum diameter of the fruit is already indicated in the specifications. The proposed amendment aims to facilitate operations after harvesting because operators have calibrators, especially those of the first generation, that are not always equipped to determine weight as well as size, which causes them to incur extra costs. |

Method of production

| — | The third paragraph of the product specification:


  ‘In addition to Franco apple rootstocks (grown from the seed of the same species as that which is grafted) and standard vase-shaped growing forms, cloned rootstocks and hedgerow or trained forms (fan, quenouille-trained, and similar) are also considered suitable, with a number of plants per hectare that may vary up to a maximum of 1 200.’


  is amended as follows:


  ‘The recommended planting system is single row, to ensure the best exposure to direct sunlight with a number of plants per hectare that may vary up to a maximum of 1 666.’


  The cultivation of ‘Melannurca Campana’ PGI is permitted in suitable orchards, provided that the excellent quality characteristics of the product are guaranteed. The amendment of planting distances corresponds to the increase in plant density from 1 200 to 1 666 per hectare. This amendment also aims to apply new environmental and physical knowledge about orchards to the PGI ‘Melannurca Campana’. The right interplay between different cultivation parameters (rootstock, planting distances, plant management, etc.) provides for a better balance between the growing and fruit-bearing stages and makes for more compact plants with multiple benefits with regard to the quality of the fruit and production costs. |

| — | The fourth paragraph of the product specification


  ‘Maximum production per unit allowed for “Melannurca Campana” apples entitled to bear the PGI label is 33 tonnes per hectare, allowing for annual variations according to weather conditions’.


  is amended as follows:


  ‘Maximum production per unit allowed for “Melannurca Campana” apples entitled to bear the PGI label is 45 tonnes per hectare, allowing for annual variations according to weather conditions’.


  The amendment of planting distance and plant density per hectare has resulted in an amendment of production per unit of fruit per hectare. This amendment ensures lower fruit production per plant than previously. Higher plant density per hectare has enabled production per hectare to be increased compared with the current specification while considerably decreasing average production per plant (approximately 23 kg/plant compared with approximately 27,5 kg/plant). Lower production per plant not only ensures better ripening of the fruit, but is also one of the strategies that producers of ‘Melannurca Campana’ PGI intend to pursue in order to obtain quality products. |

Concise definition of the geographical area

The production area of the PGI ‘Melannurca Campana’, comprises municipalities within the provinces of Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, Naples and Salerno, as detailed in the product specification.

5.   Link with the geographical area

Link with the geographical area

Cultivation of the Annurca apple has always characterised the countryside of Campania thanks to the favourable soil and weather conditions which have allowed it to spread wherever the land, whether due to the soil composition or to the rainfall (6 000-7 000 m3/ha from spring to autumn), has a depth suitable for the roots, i.e. greater than 80 cm, has limestone values of less than 10 and a salt content expressed in μs/cm of less than 2. The Annurca apple starts to flower and to germinate late, thus escaping the negative consequences of low temperatures coinciding with flowering and germination. The area involved in production of the PGI is characterised by good drainage and the ground is notable for its mixed composition (light loam), and for a pH between 6,5 and 7,5. The human factor which closely accompanies the entire production cycle of the Annurca apple is fundamental, from cultivation to harvest and ultimately to the creation of melai (plots where the apples are laid out on the ground) and the techniques for reddening. The relationship between the Annurca and Campania is very ancient, a link which began in the Roman era in the Phlegraean Fields (Pozzuoli area), it became firmly established over the centuries and has progressively grown to involve many other areas within the region, areas — chosen for their environmental suitability — which have required centuries of patient toil on the part of the local agricultural workers. Since time immemorial and in every text on the subject, the Annurca apple has been synonymous with Campania.

3

In Campania, known as Campania felix by the Romans for its exceptional geographical situation, there has been a rich and varied tradition of fruit cultivation for millennia; the Annurca apple takes pride of place in this and it is called, for good reason, the ‘queen of apples’. Uncovering the roots of the Annurca means returning to elements of the glorious ancient past since it is recognisable in paintings at Pompeii, and in particular those inside the Casa dei Cervi at Herculaneum. This suggests that the ancient inhabitants of those areas were eating these apples even then. Pliny the Elder first describes them in his monumental encyclopaedia Naturalis Historia.
