**Trebbiano Toscano** is a white grape long grown in Tuscany and across central Italy, and one of the world's most planted whites; in France it is known as Ugni Blanc and forms the base of Cognac and Armagnac. **In the glass** — It is typically light-bodied and fairly neutral, with subtle lemon, green-apple and floral notes, its defining feature being high, refreshing acidity and a crisp, clean finish. **Where it grows** — Widespread throughout central Italy, it appears in many everyday whites and in Tuscany contributes to the traditional sweet Vin Santo. Its high acidity also makes it ideal for distillation into brandy in France and elsewhere. **At the table** — Its brightness works well with simple seafood, antipasti and fried dishes. **Cellaring** — Dry versions are best drunk young and fresh, while the sweet Vin Santo styles can age for years.
