Albana
Ancient grape variety dating back to Roman times, is today deeply linked to the district of the Romagna hills. Among the most important white berried varieties of Emilia-Romagna, its name seems to be associated with the Latin term "albus", white, or with the Alban Hills. Vinified in practically every winery in the Spungone area of Romagna, that is, a soil based on sandstone and limestone that from Imola reaches the municipality of Bertinoro, in the province of Cesena.
Vinified in purity, Albana gives rise to the Albana di Romagna appellation, the first DOCG in Italy. The sugar content that it can develop makes it ideal for the production of straw wines, a characteristic that finds its highest point in Romagna Albana Passito DOCG. The lively tannic component that can be found in the skins of the Albana produces interesting results in "red" vinification tests, that is, with maceration on the skins.
