History	Originating from the heart of Italy, Trebbiano Romagnolo is a member of the esteemed Trebbiani family of vines, tracing its lineage back to the time of the Romans. The name 'Trebbiano' is derived from the term 'Trebula', referring to a farmstead, highlighting its rustic origins. 'Vinum Trebulanum', a term coined by Pliny the Elder, referred to this variety as the 'house wine' or 'country wine'. Differentiating between the various clones is a challenge due to their naming often reflecting the region they dominate. Trebbiano Romagnolo finds its first mentions in sources dating back to the late Middle Ages in the Bologna province.
