I nearly finished this bottle of Duchman Family Winery Trebbiano before I remembered to snap a photo and write a short note about it. It’s so refreshing — with a hint of banana (in a good, tropical way) and citrus. Love the crisp, dry finish. An easy-drinking, refreshing summer wine.
Cheers! (And yes, the grapes are from the Bingham Family Vineyards! One of Texas’ best grape-growing families.)
This Montecucco Bianco 2009 is a blend of Trebbiano (60%) and Vermentino (40%) — it offers a nice dry wine, with a floral, fruity nose, and is crisp and snappy on the finish.
Trebbanio is the second most widely planted grape in the world (who knew?!). It is called Ugni Blanc in France.
There is some Trebbiano in Texas — Duchman Family Winery has a 2009 Trebbiano that is offered at Dolce Vita in Houston. They use grapes from the Bingham Family Vineyards.
