Trebbiano Romagnolo

The white grape variety originates from Italy; it is one of the many varieties of the large Trebbiano name group. Synonyms are Greco Bianco 1, Trebbiano della Fiamma, Trebbiano di Romagna and Trebbiano Romagnolo Bijeli. The parentage is unknown. It must not be confused with the varieties Trebbiano Modenese or Verdicchio Bianco (Trebbiano di Lugana, Trebbiano di Soave), despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological similarities. The early to medium ripening, high-yielding vine is susceptible to various fungal diseases except powdery mildew. It yields straw-coloured, neutral white wines with fresh acidity, which are also suitable for the production of distillates. This very old variety was already mentioned in 1303 by Petrus de Crescentiis (1230-1320) in the province of Ravenna.

It is widespread in the Emilia-Romagna region and is permitted in numerous DOC/DOCG wines. These are Bosco Eliceo, Colli Bolognesi, Colli di Faenza, Colli di Imola, Colli di Rimini, Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa, Colli Piacentini and Romagna. Smaller populations also exist in the Lazio region, where it is included in the DOC wines Bianco Capena, Castelli Romani and Colli Albani, and in Sardinia, where it is included in the DOC wine Arborea. In 2016, 19,059 hectares of vines were designated. It is thus ranked 43rd in the world grape variety ranking (Kym Anderson statistics).
