Asprinio bianco

Asprinio bianco is a white Italian wine grape variety grown primarily in southwest Italy, around the Naples region of Campania. It is currently not believed to be related to the similarly named French wine grape of the Languedoc region, Aspiran. In Naples the grape is used to make lightly sparkling frizzante wine.
