The grape variety Trebbiano d'Abruzzo

Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is a prominent white grape variety primarily cultivated in the Abruzzo region of central Italy. Known for its refreshing character, Trebbiano d'Abruzzo wines typically exhibit a delicate aromatic profile, featuring notes of green apple, pear, citrus zest, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, these wines display crisp acidity, light to medium body, and a clean, mineral-driven finish that enhances their vibrancy and balance.

The principal viticultural area for Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is the hilly Abruzzo region, particularly in the provinces of Teramo, Chieti, Pescara, and L’Aquila, where the combination of maritime influences and mountainous terrain creates ideal growing conditions. While Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is most often vinified as a varietal dry white wine, it is also used in blends and occasionally as a base for sparkling wines.

Typical styles range from youthful, unoaked expressions that highlight the grape’s purity and freshness, to more structured examples aged on lees, adding complexity and texture. Recommended food pairings include fresh seafood, light pasta dishes, grilled vegetables, soft cheeses, and classic Mediterranean cuisine, where the wine’s lively acidity and subtle fruit complement a variety of flavors.
