Trebbiano
Trebbiano refers to a collection of white grape varieties prominent in Italy and France, such as Trebbiano Toscano, Romagnolo, and Abruzzese, named after their regions. The broader Trebbiano family, inclusive of variations like Trebbiano d'Abruzzo and Trebbiano di Soave, collectively accounts for nearly one-third of Italy's overall white wine production.
Trebbiano wines resemble lighter Chardonnays and are labelled as table wines. Additionally, Trebbiano is crucial in brandy production, notably in Cognac and Armagnac regions, where the grape is called Ugnu blanc. It also shares a genetic profile with Garganega, prominent in Soave wine. It is recommended to consume promptly, as Trebbiano wines do not exhibit significant aging potential.
Taste
Trebbiano typically yields wines characterized by neutrality with a refreshing quality, and result in a light-bodied wine marked with high acidity. They exhibit subtle citrus aromas with hints of almond on the finish.
Other
Trebbiano grapes, are occasionally fermented with their skins, akin to red wine grapes.
