Straw yellow hues and an intense nose profile woven with notes of hedgerow and citrus fruits. The supple palate is well balanced and fresh, with a seductive tangy note.
Perfect with seafood salads and fish crudités; superb with risottos, stuffed vegetables; ideal for wok recipes.
Trebbiano d'Abruzzo or Abruzzese should not be confused with Trebbiano Toscano (which is known in France as Ugni Blanc and is the base wine for Armagnac and Cognac) or Trebbiano Modenese (also known as Trebbianina, which is the base wine for Modena balsamic vinegar).
It has milder acids than Toscano, it can sometimes be a bit lazy, but it is round and fruity and when well made, it yields a particularly good drinking wine.
To qualify as Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC, the wine must contain at least 85% of three grape varieties (either alone or together): Trebbiano Abruzzese, Trebbiano Toscano and Bombino Bianco.
