From an article about Trieste. Here is the full sentence:
Nel 1784 un decreto imperiale asburgico concesse ai contadini la vendita di vino e altri prodotti di casa, purché l’attività venisse segnalata da una ***fraschetta rinsecchita***.
I have found that a fraschetta is a particular type of restaurant, but that does not fit this context. Any help would be much appreciated.

branch
"Frasca" is a branch; "fraschetta" woud be a "little branch."
I would tranlste it as "a dried out branch."

: risks evoking this kind of image: http://tinyurl.com/khblzmr ; a frasca has leaves by definition ("frasca s. f. – 1. a. Ramoscello con foglie" as is clear from the pics
