Trebbiano Spoletino

The white grape variety originates from Italy; it is one of the many varieties of the large Trebbiano name group. Synonyms are Spoletino, Trebbiano di Avezzano, Trebbiano di Spolete and Trebbiano di Spoleto. The parentage is unknown. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2001, there is a genetic relationship with the Trebbiano d'Abruzzo variety. Due to morphological similarities, it must not be confused with the Trebbiano Toscano variety, with which it is often blended. The late-ripening variety is resistant to frost and especially downy mildew. It produces golden-yellow, acidic and full-bodied white wines with diverse aromas of lemons, tropical fruits and nuts. The variety was first mentioned in Umbria in 1878. It was threatened with extinction and was reactivated in the early 2000s by the Cantina Novelli winery by replanting vines that were over 100 years old. Today, it is mainly cultivated in the province of Perugia and is permitted in the DOC wines Assisi, Colli del Trasimeno, Colli Martani and Montefalco. In 2016, 121 hectares of vines were designated (Kym Anderson).
