Trebbiano is a white grape variety that is very popular in Italy, but also cultivated in several wine regions around the world, including France (where it is known as Ugni Blanc) and other European wine regions. In Italy, Trebbiano is mainly used in the production of fresh and light white wines with good acidity.
In the case of Soave, Trebbiano di Soave (or Trebbiano di Lugana) is one of the varieties used, although the Garganega grape is predominant. Trebbiano is known for producing wines with fruity notes, balanced acidity, and, in some cases, a lightness and freshness that make it enjoyable for young consumption.
Characteristics of Trebbiano:
Aroma: Fruity, with notes of green apple, pear, and sometimes floral touches.
Taste: Fresh, with good acidity, light to medium body, and a clean, crisp texture.
Use: It can be vinified alone or in blends with other varieties, as is the case in Soave, where it combines with Garganega.
