Lets Try to Identify this fig

This is a breba from an Unknown
I know it originated from somewhere in Italy
The original owners name is Spomantti
so I have it as Spomantti White
I also have another tree from the same person that is red or black not yet sure  
This is what it looks like

Mario,
There are so many wild figs growing in Italy because they do have the fig wasp that this may indeed be a unique genetic variety and not a known/commercially distributed fig. It may indeed be Spomantti, a new variety, named so by those that found it. Without DNA testing it's a crap shoot to ID.

What does it taste like?
