Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC is a white wine from the Abruzzo region on Italy’s Adriatic coast. It is made from the Trebbiano d’Abruzzese grape variety which, despite displaying ‘hay and white currant characters’, is being increasingly overlooked by more fashionable and characterful varieties like Cococciola, Passerina and Pecorino,’ says Oz Clarke (2015, p.24).

“Most Trebbiano d’Abruzzo wines are insipid whites which are not made of Trebbiano d’Abruzzo grapes at all, but with the bland Trebbiano Toscano Valentini,” (OCW: 2015, p.1). Also made from vineyards planted with Pagadebit, Bombino etc.’, Ian D’Agata in New York, 27th June 2017.
