Collection: Trebbiano Spoletino

Trebbiano Spoletino is an old Italian grape variety with its homeland in Umbria in central Italy. Here it has in recent times received renewed attention, and today it is grown especially with a view to serious, structured dry white wines. It is this style that has made the grape a name you should take note of if you are fond of white wines with character and personality.

One of the grape's truly defining traits is its strikingly high acidity. It is precisely the fresh, lively acidity that sets Trebbiano Spoletino apart from many of the other Trebbiano varieties and gives the wines both energy and longevity. It is a quality that makes the wines well suited to food while at the same time giving them a fresh, uplifting profile in the glass.

In Umbria a number of producers work with extended skin contact on Trebbiano Spoletino. This yields wines with more texture, depth and a slightly golden tone, and it underlines the grape's ability to deliver something more than just a simple everyday white wine. The result is often white wines with structure and a certain weight, which you can encounter both young and after a few years in the bottle.

Although the grape is primarily associated with dry wines, there are also examples of late harvest and passito styles, where the grapes are harvested late or dried. This is, however, a smaller part of the grape's overall identity, and it is the dry wines from Umbria that today define the picture of Trebbiano Spoletino.

If you want to get to know the grape, it is a good choice if you would like to discover an Italian white wine that falls outside the most familiar names. It rewards curiosity with freshness, structure and a clear sense of its Umbrian origin.
