Meininger – Dossier Romagna

The article extract presents Fattoria Zerbina as an important reference for both Albana and Sangiovese. It highlights Cristina Geminiani’s training in Bordeaux, her conversion of the vineyards to high-density alberello systems and her research into Sangiovese clones suited to the estate. It also emphasises her preference for varietal Albana and Sangiovese, the evolution of Tergeno, and a continuing search for elegance and purity in Sangiovese and balance among acidity, noble rot and sweetness in Albana. Scacco Matto is associated with a Sauternes-inspired model, while AR is compared with German-style botrytised selections.
