π Trebbiano
A white wine grape from Italy, known in France as Ugni Blanc and used for Cognac.
Trebbiano is a white wine grape from Italy. It is one of the most widely planted white varieties in the world. It grows in Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Abruzzo and other parts of Italy.
Trebbiano wines are usually light and fresh, with high acidity and a quiet aroma. They are drunk young. The grape is also used for the sweet Vin Santo and for the white wines of many local zones: Frascati, Orvieto, Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone and others.
In France the grape is called Ugni Blanc. There it has long been the base of cognac: it gives a sharp, neutral wine that suits distillation. It also grows in Provence, in southern France and in Gascony, for example in CΓ΄tes de Gascogne.
The variety has a large family and is a relative of grapes such as Vidal Blanc and Chenel. Trebbiano is an example of a grape that matters equally for light table wine and for strong spirits.
