Sanguinelli is a late midseason blood orange, originating from a mutation of Doble Fina, discovered in Almenara, Spain around 1950. It has become one of the main Spanish blood orange varieties and is highly valued for its exceptional fruit quality, intense and consistent red pigmentation, and the sweet, aromatic flavor characteristic of blood oranges.
