Ugni Blanc, also known as Trebbiano, is a white wine grape variety that is most widely grown in France and Italy. It is known for its high acidity and fresh, crisp flavor profile, usually displaying mild floral, citrus, and green apple notes. Ugni Blanc is quite a robust varietal that is typically high yielding and resistant to various vine diseases, making it highly lucrative for winemakers.
It is primarily used in blending and is the main grape used in the production of Cognac and Armagnac. When made into a standalone wine, Ugni Blanc tends to be light-bodied with a tangy, slightly bitter finish. Overall, it is not generally considered to be a grape that is turned into a high-quality standalone wine, but it is extremely important in the wine industry for its other uses.
