Ancestry

According to DNA analyses carried out in 2021, it is a presumably natural cross between Sangiovese x Mantonico Bianco. It should not be confused with the Frappato, Magliocco Canino, Magliocco Dolce, Nerello Cappuccio or Perricone varieties due to some of the same synonyms or morphological similarities.
