Winemaker Notes
Compared to other white wine-producing varieties, Trebbiano claims some of the most vineyard acreage on a global scale. There are six distinct varieties with Trebbiano as part of their name in Italy alone. Trebbiano Toscano, one of the most popular, is deliciously light and crisp. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo actually has some aging potential when handled carefully. Somm Secret—Known as Ugni Blanc in France, Trebbiano is responsible for the whites in Southwest, France called Gascogne Blanc.
The hilly, eastern side of Emilia-Romagna is now separated into 12 subzones defined by elevation and soil types. Within these, vine growers are starting to differentiate ideal locations for high quality Sangiovese as well as Albana, the region’s white grape. Albana has proven itself via the finer passito and botrytized versions; dry versions are also making a name for themselves.
