**Ugni Blanc** is a white grape of Italian origin, where it is known as Trebbiano Toscano, and it is one of the most widely planted white varieties in the world. In France it is prized less for table wine than as the base for the distillates of Cognac and Armagnac. **In the glass** — light, neutral and high in acidity, with delicate lemon and green-apple notes and little aromatic drama; that combination of freshness and restraint is exactly what makes it ideal for distillation. **Where it grows** — vast plantings in France (the Charente for Cognac, Gascony for Armagnac) and throughout Italy under the Trebbiano name, plus warm regions worldwide. As a table wine it stays crisp and simple; distilled, it becomes the raw material for fine brandy. **At the table** — the still wine suits simple seafood and light lunchtime fare. **Cellaring** — meant to be drunk young and fresh.
