Viticulture
The soil and warm climate of
Italy's central wine growing regions
provide ideal terroir for the Trebbiano
grape.
|
|
Varietal/Blend

wines because of its high natural
acidity.
|
|
Flavour
& Character
Tends to produce bland, vinous
rather than fruity flavoured wines.
|
|
Vinification
Usually cool fermented in stainless
steel vessels. Matured in stainless
steel or old oak—in an attempt to
add complexity.
|
|
Style
Crisp, fresh and clean style
at its best, but largely responsible
for the neutral bulk wines of Italy.
|
|
Body,

Dry and generally neutral, simple
and one-dimensional. Can be hard
on the palate.
