Verdicchio  wine variety

This is an old white wine variety from Veneto, more correctly called Verdicchio Bianco, which has many synonyms including the word 'Trebbiano'.  Trebbiano is in fact a separate variety.

The high acidity is valued to add crispness in many blended wines, and it is used for sparkling wines as well. 

Verdicchio is sometimes used as a minor component in the popular Soave dry white wines, the dominant variety being Garganega.
