Trebbiano

 

Geography
Mainly produced in Italy.

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

Varietal/Blend
Occasionally blended with red 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/Sweet
Dry and generally neutral, simple and one-dimensional. Can be hard on the palate.

Notes
Also known as Ugni Blanc.
