Albana di Romagna

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Albana di Romagna DOCG" Show in wein.plus:places

DOCG zone (also Romagna Albana) for white wine in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. The zone includes 22 municipalities in the foothills of the Apennines in the provinces of Bologna (7), Ravenna (5) and Forlì-Cesena (10) in Romagna, the eastern part of the region. According to legend, there was already an Albana wine in the 5th century. Galla Placidia (daughter of a Roman emperor) was given Albanese wine by the town of Bertinoro and is said to have exclaimed during the wine tasting: "non di così rozzo calice sei degno, o vino, ma di berti in oro", which means: "not such a coarse cup do you deserve, oh wine, but to be drunk in gold". Today, the citizens of Bertinoro trace the name of their town back to this. The medieval jurist Petrus de Crescentiis (1230-1320) also described an Albana wine with the words "very strong and with a noble taste, well suited for long storage and yet quite subtle".
