Grape Variety: 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.

Flavor & Character: Tends to produce bland, vinous rather than fruity flavored 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.
