With the 1987 vintage, Albana di Romagna became Italy’s first white D.O.C.G. wine. Very few wines met the new D.O.C.G. standards, but Umberto Cesari is ranked at the very top. Albana is named for the straw-yellow colored hair of Princess Albana, daughter of a Roman Emperor. Albana di Romagna can be made sweet or dry, still or Frizzante. The “Colle del Re” of Umberto Cesari is made in a dry, elegant style that is best enjoyed in its youth. This wine is from a single vineyard plot and is estate grown and bottled.
From the winemaker – “This wine is straw-colored with a delicate scent and an elegant, dry, fruity taste. The finish is smooth with a touch of almonds. Albana di Romagna is a very distinctive wine. ”
This wine goes well with seafood or poultry, as well as stuffed pastas in cream or butter sauces, such as Tortellini, Agnolotti or Cappelletti.
