The first reliable source dates back to the 14th century, when Trebbiano is included in a list of wines kept at Palazzo della Signoria in Florence. According to historian Alberto Baronetto, this list was drawn up in 1364. This demonstrates that Trebbiano has been regarded as a refined wine suitable for important occasions since the 14th century.
