Trebbiano, or Trebbiano Toscano, is an Italian white wine varietal, and though you may not be as familiar with it as say, Chardonnay or Riesling, it's one of the most planted grapes in the world. It is used for table wine, but more commonly to make brandies like Armagnac and Cognac. The grape also goes by many different names depending on the country in which it is grown/produced.
For a fun, young white table wine, Trebbiano Toscano is well worth exploring, perhaps starting your with some of the Italian styles like Trebbiano d'Abruzzo. Also, if you are into brandies, use of France's Ugni Blanc in Cognac is certainly a special treat.
