Drupeggio

The white grape variety originates from Italy. Synonyms are Bottaio Bianco, Cacciumo, Cacinello, Canaiolo Bianco, Canajola, Canina, Cargarèl, Carcarello (second main name), Caricarello, Drupeccio, Promaticca, Trupeccio, Uva dei Cani, Uva Vewcchia Bianca and Volpicchio. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Semidano x unknown father variety. Despite some of the same synonyms, it should not be confused with the Vermentino, Vernaccia di San Gimignano (Drupeccio) or Zuccaccio varieties. The variety has been known in Tuscany under the name Canaiolo Bianco since at least 1817. The late-ripening, high-yielding vine produces a yellow-green wine. In 2016, 81 hectares of vines were planted with a downward trend (Kym Anderson).
