Trebbiano Toscano

The grape variety is of Etruscan origin. Trebbiano Toscano, perhaps the most important of the many Trebbiani, already cited by Pliny the Elder, as ‘Trebulanum‘, perhaps owes its name to the site of the same name of ancient Etruria, near Luni, at the border between Liguria and Tuscany or the Trebbia River of the Piacentini Hills. 

Malvasia Bianca Lunga

A vine variety which has been cultivated for several centuries and is widely grown on the Chianti hills, from where it is held to originate.

Vernaccia di San Gimignano

Even if the first documentation we have goes back to the year 1276, it is certain that it was previously imported either from the Cinque Terre region (Liguria), or from Spain or Greece. 

It has become popular again only in the past few decades.

The name Vernaccia derives from the Latin word vernaculus which means of the place, or site.
