More dedicated varieties ripen in stages, ensuring availability from early September through mid-November and beyond. Additionally, a new brand with distinctive packaging highlights its origin: Perle di Romagna. Since this year, the Italian Fellini Patrizio company has been marketing jujubes – the quintessential Italian autumn fruit – under this brand.

“We grow jujubes at our Company 67,” explain Andrea Pignato and Luca Zucconelli from the sales department, “located just a few meters from the packaging plant. This year, due to the weather, the early varieties have few jujubes, while the situation is more normal for the medium and late varieties.”

“Perle di Romagna is an evocative brand name that indicates the product’s origin and high quality,” Pignato continues. Jujube is an archaic crop that Patrizio Fellini aspired to contemporize. The harvesting and packaging are both done manually. We place high-quality fruit in 250-gram cups. Each carton contains 12 cups.”

Fellini has over 3,000 plants at its disposal. “We harvest and package within a few hours to maintain freshness,” Pignato concludes. It’s no coincidence that the product is part of our “Freschissimi” line. The jujube is not well-known yet, but stabilizing production allows us to maintain a consistent supply until November.

The Second Report on Sustainability
In 2025, Fellini Patrizio publishes its second sustainability report, covering the 2024 campaign. The report offers the company an opportunity to present its new corporate structure, which includes the holding company overseeing the subsidiaries Fellini Patrizio Unipersonale and Autotrasporti. It also details the 2024–2027 Corporate Strategic Plan, emphasizing the integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies into the overall Fellini Group strategy.
The document highlights the company’s focus on greater vertical integration of the supply chain in its most strategic areas. Finally, the reporting methodology has been updated to align with EFRAG’s new draft simplification of the ESRS standard, published in July. Although this alignment is voluntary, as Fellini is not subject to mandatory reporting, it demonstrates the company’s commitment to maintaining reporting standards that exceed those currently recommended for SMEs.
