生长区域 It is widespread in Sicily, especially in the area of ​​Vittoria in the province of Ragusa.
历史 He presents a few written documents, with the first dating back to 1760 by Sestini, which speaks to him in his winemaking memorial of Vittoria, where today is still vinified. Other news comes from the early twentieth century, assuming a Spanish origin where two similar varieties are present. Of course it is known that it was present in eastern Sicily already since the XVII century, with the name of Frappato by the meaning of "fruity". But for Baron Antonio Mendola, who lived in the early twentieth century, the vine is a native of Vittoria, present in the area since 1600.
