Description
What kind of wine it is
Romagna Albana Dolce by Zavalloni is a sweet white wine from Emilia-Romagna, a true expression of Romagna Albana. Made from Albana grapes that have been dried, this wine concentrates the typical varietal aromas of the grape. It displays a straw yellow colour with golden highlights, revealing clear notes of apple and banana on the nose. On the palate, it is soft and enveloping, with sweetness well balanced by freshness and savouriness.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from a historic vineyard located in the Romagna region. The Albana vines benefit from a south and south-west exposure, ensuring the full ripening of the bunches. Trained using the double arched cane system, the plants ensure harmonious canopy development. Thanks to these ancient plots, the fruit develops an intense aromatic profile and a distinctive savouriness.
How it is produced
The process begins with the drying of the grape bunches, an essential step to concentrate the sugar richness of the Albana. After fermentation, the wine undergoes four months of ageing in steel. This technique preserves the clarity of the fruit and maintains the expressive vibrancy of the grape variety. The result is a balanced tasting experience, where the sweet component interacts with the acidity, offering a long aromatic persistence.
History and Curiosities
The Romagna Albana Dolce DOCG by Zavalloni encapsulates the authentic heritage of the region, originating from a historic vineyard dating back to 1969 that enjoys excellent sun exposure. The old vines, trained using the double Guyot method, yield precious bunches, transformed according to the traditional passito method. The drying process intensifies the aromas, while four months of maturation in steel preserve its vibrant liveliness until bottling. This 2025 vintage celebrates the essence of a sweet wine deeply connected to Romagna.
