As its name suggests, this species has a soft, thick, grey fur (a little brighter on the belly, the limbs and the end of tail). Middle-sized, with a long body and muscular loin, it apparently descends from a Chinchilla crossbreed.
The Carmagnola Grey Rabbit is characterized by an excellent yield: its bone structure is very thin, but its muscle mass is bigger than that of the other races. its meat is thin, tender, particularly white and not gristly at all.
