About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The dry Albana project followed the estate’s work with passito wines. A higher-density vineyard was planted and its foliage carefully controlled to encourage freshness and aromatic definition in the grapes.
Grapes
Albana.
Vinification
Fermentation lasts 18–20 days in medium-capacity stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The wine matures for approximately five months in cement tanks, remaining in contact with its fine lees.
Technical data
Alcohol: 12% vol. Average production is 10,000 bottles, of which 600 are retained to monitor the wine’s evolution.
Tasting profile
Pale gold with greenish reflections. The bouquet combines acacia blossom, tropical-fruit nuances and citrus, particularly grapefruit. The palate has good structure and a dynamic character, with pronounced acidity, savoury qualities and iodine-like hints.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 9–10 °C.
Vintage notes
Its marked acidity supports extended development, and the wine can show at its best after seven to eight years.
Label / history
Conceived as a dry expression of Albana after the estate’s experience with passito wines, its stylistic reference is the white wines of the Loire, particularly their freshness and floral character.
