Trebbiano Spoletino is a distinctive white grape variety native to the Umbria region in central Italy, particularly associated with the areas surrounding the town of Spoleto. Renowned for its vibrant aromatic profile, Trebbiano Spoletino typically yields wines with expressive notes of white blossom, citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, subtle aromatic herbs, and a hint of stone fruits like peach. On the palate, these wines are marked by a refreshing acidity, medium body, and a minerally undertone, often displaying a harmonious balance between fruit intensity and savoury complexity.
The primary viticultural area for Trebbiano Spoletino is Umbria, notably within the Montefalco and Spoleto DOCs. The grape is predominantly used to produce both varietal dry white wines and, less commonly, more structured and age-worthy examples matured on their lees or in oak.
Typical styles range from fresh and crisp bottlings designed for early drinking, to more complex versions with additional textural richness and potential for refinement over several years. Trebbiano Spoletino pairs exceptionally well with seafood dishes, delicate risottos, grilled poultry, and fresh vegetable preparations, enhancing the flavours with its lively acidity and aromatic intensity.
