Default Ping rfc Italians -- Il Fragolino (wine)

While looking up the use of Concord grapes in wine, I ran across an
Italian wine -- now apparently banned -- made with American grapes
(Isabella), which gave it a strawberry flavor. Fragolino is now
apparently simulated with Vitis vinifera wine and strawberry flavor.

Does anyone know more about why the original wine was banned?
