The white grape variety originates from Italy; it is one of the many varieties of the large, inhomogeneous Trebbiano group of names. Synonyms are Terbiàn Moscatlè, Terbianella, Trebbiano Comune, Trebbiano di Castelvetro, Trebbiano di Collina, Trebbiano di Modena, Trebbiano Montanaro and Trebianella.

The parentage (parentage) is unknown. It should not be confused with the Trebbiano Giallo or Trebbiano Romagnolo varieties due to some of the same synonyms or morphological or name similarities.
The medium to late ripening vine is susceptible to powdery mildew and botrytis, but moderately resistant to downy mildew. It produces fresh, acid-accentuated white wines that are used for blending. Due to its high acidity, the wine is very suitable for vinegar production.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
