Discover the grape variety: Frankenthal
It is said to be of Austrian origin, from the Tyrol to be precise, and for some it comes from Franconia in Germany. Some ampelographers consider that Frankenthal and Kavcina crna or Zametovka grown in Slovenia are identical, with perhaps only a few clonal differences, which have yet to be confirmed, although it is true that they all have a large number of synonyms in common. Frankenthal can still be found in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Portugal, England, Chile and Australia. For a long time, it was cultivated under greenhouses as a table grape in the North, East and West of France. Today, it has been almost abandoned and is therefore in danger of disappearing.
