The white grape variety originates from Italy; it is one of the many varieties of the large Trebbiano name group. Synonyms are Terbiàn Moscatlè, Terbianella, Trebbiano Comune, Trebbiano di Castelvetro, Trebbiano di Collina, Trebbiano di Modena, Trebbiano Montanaro and Trebianella. It must not be confused with the varieties Trebbiano Giallo or Trebbiano Romagnolo, despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological or name similarities. The medium to late ripening vine is very vigorous. It is mainly cultivated in the Emilia-Romagna region, where it is permitted, among other things, in the Modena DOC wine. It is also used there for the production of the DOC-classified balsamico (vinegar). In 2016, 287 hectares of vines were reported (Kym Anderson statistics).
There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
