Trebbiano Spoletino has surged in popularity across Umbria over the past decade, establishing its unique presence exclusively within the region.
Notably, the diversity among Trebbiano Spoletino wines is striking, reflecting the distinct character of the grapevines thriving in individual vineyards. Indeed, no two producers of Trebbiano Spoletino seem to have grapes that bear resemblance.
This variety, renowned for its late ripening, exhibits robust resistance to peronospora and botrytis, although it does display slightly less resilience to oidium compared to other diseases.
Despite the diverse array of phenotypic expressions exhibited by this grape, Trebbiano Spoletino consistently yields wines of remarkable quality. Spanning a spectrum of styles, these wines enchant the palate with a range of captivating profiles. From invigoratingly fresh and citrus-driven, reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, to opulent and richly textured, with hints of aromatic complexity akin to Moscato Bianco, each sip unveils a unique journey of flavors and aromas.
However, it’s worth noting that some wines, particularly those crafted using hyper-reductive winemaking techniques, may veer towards a more uniform character. While intensely lemony, figgy, and herbal notes may prevail in such instances, there’s a risk of losing the wine’s individuality and depth, ultimately resembling a typical Sauvignon Blanc. Thus, while these wines may exhibit certain desirable traits, they may sacrifice some of the nuanced personality that defines Trebbiano Spoletino’s charm.
