Lorenzini watermelons belong to 3 different varieties, all ideal for enjoying a fresh and regenerating summer fruit: Mignon, La Rossa and Dolce Passione. The Mignon is much smaller than a normal watermelon, and for this reason it is ideal for meeting the needs of a family or even a single person. La Rossa is the traditional round or oval shaped watermelon, it can weigh up to 20kg and is particularly thirst-quenching and refreshing. Dolce Passione is the medium-sized watermelon with dark skin and very few seeds, very sweet and tasty.
