Frappato

Ragusa seems to be the place of origin and initial dissemination of Frappato, with evidence dating back to the end of the 1700s. The possibility of its relation to other red grape vine varieties, like Sangiovese and therefore to Ciliegiolo and Calabrese di Montenuovo, has been discovered through recent DNA analysis of the plant.
