The term Drupeggio is a local synonym used primarily in Umbria and refers to the Canaiolo Bianco grape variety. Canaiolo Bianco is a traditional Tuscan grape variety, now almost completely disappeared. Although it is included in the DOC regulations of Carmignano and Valdinievole along with Malvasia Bianca Lunga and Trebbiano Toscano, only a few hectares remain under cultivation, and no new plantings have been reported in at least ten years.
