Trebbiano, Lombardy

The generic name of Trebbiano includes a vast family of very different grape varieties. It is the most cultivated white grape variety in Italy and is present in almost all regions of central and southern Italy, in particular in Tuscany and Abruzzo. Its success is mainly due to its good vigor and productivity, which in the past centuries have made it preferable to other varieties, precisely because of its abundant harvests. In Tuscany it is often vinified together with the white Chianti malvasia, while in Abruzzo it is produced in purity with qualitatively interesting results.

Cultivation with low yields provides wines with good body, with complex and deep aromas, high acidity and a good propensity for aging.

Limited production in terms of quantity, but a great variety of territories and wines. This is what characterizes the winemaking reality of Lombardy, which presents very different productions thanks to a remarkable heterogeneity of the environments, from the mountains to the hills, from the plains to the lakes.

From the great reds of Valtellina to the sparkling wines of Franciacorta and Oltrepò, Lombardy is home to nationally renowned appellations and smaller lesser-known appellations. In this region national and international grapes coexist, giving life to wine products more or less linked to the territory, but always united by a great quality.
