Trebbiano Toscano is a white wine grape varietal commonly found in Italy and France. In France, it is also known as Ugni Blanc. It is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world due to its high productivity and neutral taste, which allows it to be blended easily with other grape types.
The wines produced from Trebbiano Toscano tend to be light-bodied with crisp acidity and subtle flavors, such as citrus, almond, and green apple. They are typically dry, but some sweet and sparkling versions are also made.
Despite its high productivity, this grape is often overlooked due to its lack of intense flavor and complexity. However, it's used extensively in the production of Cognac and Armagnac in France. The grape’s high acidity and ability to yield in large quantities make it a suitable choice for brandy production.
Trebbiano Toscano is also a key component in many traditional Italian white wine blends, including Orvieto and Verdicchio.
