A lean and fresh white wine here. We love the light, yet energetic quality at play, with lovely subtle aromas of hazelnut, fresh herbs and orchard fruit. This is easy-drinking at its finest!

Origin: Italy. Mainly Grown In: Italy, and France where it goes by the name Ugni Blanc. Key Facts: Trebbiano is something of a workhorse grape variety and is integral to wine production all over Italy. Confusingly the name ‘Trebbiano’ is attributed to a multitude of grape varieties, some of which are not even related to Trebbiano itself; ‘Trebbiano di Lugana’ or ‘...di Soave’, are good examples. Given the slew of pseudonyms that Trebbiano goes by, it is quite difficult to pinpoint the exact characteristics of this grape variety and is perhaps better described according to which part of Italy a given Trebbiano wine comes from. In France, it is believed that Trebbiano and Ugni Blanc are one and the same. Here it is mostly used for the production of Cognac, however, it has the ability to produce fairly green wines, with lots of freshness, particularly when blended with Colombard. Trebbiano is a versatile variety, the best examples we have tasted are usually fresh, citrus-driven easy-drinking styles of wine. Fun Fact: Trebbiano is a permitted grape variety in almost one-third of Italy’s DOC appellations!
