Fregellae Frusinate is made from three grape varieties. Forty percent is composed of Pampanaro, a grape already described in 1881 that grows in small vineyards especially in the Comino Valley, has a medium-sized conical cluster with elliptical green berries with a depression, called umbilicus, at the end. Thirty percent is composed of Maturano grapes, growing between the Comino Valley and the Liri Valley, with very limited production. The remaining 30 percent is made up of Capolongo grapes, which have been grown in the Frusinate area since ancient times and are being recovered in recent decades, and cultivation is very limited. It germinates late and this allows it not to be damaged by spring frosts, it adapts very well to the climate and grows free-range on compact soils.
