I think Maglia Rosa would be fine in an earth box, but you would really want to make sure that the fruits are picked at peak flavor, which would probably be much earlier than peak color in an earth box.

Maglia Rosa has "wispy" leaves which are typically correlated with sparse foliage and short internodes, which are typically associated with dense foliage. So, it isn't easy to neatly classify it into sparse or dense.
