Vecchio is a rustic Capsicum annuum variety from Italy, bred in the traditional style of pleated sweet peppers. The fruits ripen to a deep red and are completely free from heat, with a rich, earthy sweetness suited for roasting or slow cooking. The name “Vecchio,” meaning “old” in Italian, reflects its heritage status and resemblance to older Mediterranean landrace peppers. It grows well in sunny conditions and benefits from regular feeding to encourage fruit development.
