By chance stopped at a little supermercato south of Gallipoli in Italy today, to find trusses of largish, flattened cherry tomatoes for sale already strung on strings for hanging. Puglia grown, advertised as pomodoro inverno, or 'winter tomatoes' with our broken language and Google translate,the young shop assistant and I managed to exchange the info that they were indeed locally grown, she hadn't heard of del Vesuvio, that the skins go wrinkly, and they would easily last a month - our exchange cut short by pushy customers...in Italy, who would have thought! A bit of a Google this afternoon and there are indeed heritage varieties here for winter storage.https://www.salentokm0.com/it/antiche-varieta/pomodoro-dinverno.
