The grape variety Trebbiano Toscano

Trebbiano Toscano is one of Italy’s most widely cultivated white grape varieties, celebrated for its versatility and fresh character. This grape typically produces light to medium-bodied wines with a delicate aromatic profile characterized by notes of green apple, pear, citrus zest, and subtle floral hints. On the palate, Trebbiano Toscano offers crisp acidity, refreshing minerality, and a clean, lingering finish, often accompanied by nuances of almond or white peach.

The grape thrives in several Italian wine regions, most notably Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio, and Emilia-Romagna. While often used in the production of blends, Trebbiano Toscano is also featured in DOC and DOCG wines such as Orvieto, Frascati, and Bianco di Custoza. Typical wine styles include vibrant, unoaked white wines, as well as roles in traditional Italian vermouths and brandies like Cognac and Armagnac (where it is known as Ugni Blanc).

Trebbiano Toscano pairs excellently with a variety of dishes. Its bright acidity complements seafood, shellfish, grilled vegetables, and light pasta dishes with olive oil or lemon-based sauces. It is also well-suited to soft cheeses and fragrant salads, making it a versatile choice for Mediterranean cuisine.
