Deep gold, endless bouquet, crisp acidity, massive structure in the best vintages. Distintive, traditional, long-lived. Terroir's victory over unexciting uniformity.

To describe and celebrate this classic white wine of Romagna is handed a one ancient legend.
It is said that the daughter of Theodosius, Galla Placidia, first tasted this wine during a stop in a village in the Romagna. She was served in a crude earthenware pitcher but had just drunk was ecstatic from the goodness of that nectar so that said: "Not so humble you should be drinking, but gold goblets, to pay homage to your gentleness."
Since then, they say, the court of Ravenna is invaluable in Albana drank golden goblets, and the country where the princess stopped to eat was called "Bertinoro", a name which still retains. It also appears that Frederick Barbarossa, at the time he was a guest of the Countess Frangipane precisely Bertinoro, Albania was so excited to be granted frequent drunkenness.
Today Bertinoro, in the province of Forlì, is rightly considered the heart of the production of Albana di Romagna.

This wine was also described in the 13th century by medieval wine writer Pier de Crescenzi as being "very strong and of noble taste, well suited for long maturation and at the same time quite subtle … the best of this type of grape can be had at Forlì and throughout the Romagna".
