Romagna Albana

Wine · PDO · 22 municipalities

Romagna Albana, centered in municipalities like Bertinoro within Emilia-Romagna, stands out among regional white wines. While neighboring denominations emphasize light and simple profiles, this wine must contain at least 95% Albana grapes, yielding a dry style that is characteristically warm, harmonious, and slightly tannic. This uncommon tannic presence distinguishes it from other Italian whites. For its sweet variations, the production rules dictate that grapes must be dried until reaching a minimum sugar level of 284 grams per liter, allowing the passito riserva to achieve an intensity of at least 24.00% total alcohol.
