2023 Poggio Della Dogana Belladama Romagna Albana Secco

A dry expression of Albana from the Romagna DOCG region in Northern Italy, specifically from vineyards in Brisighella and Castrocaro Terme. This wine showcases the influence of terroir from the hills near the Spungone, a limestone arenaria ridge extending from Faenza to Cesena, and ochre soils influenced by the nearby sea. The wine demonstrates balance between tannic freshness and softness. Often described as a red wine dressed in white, it offers complexity and structure with characteristic sage and herbal notes typical of Albana grown in this territory. An elegant interpretation of Albana in purity, with subtle aromatic notes of sage, citrus fruit, white flowers, and apricot. The wine has an intense straw-yellow color that may turn golden as it matures. On the palate, the liveliness of the acidity harmoniously balances with a solid structure and smoothness, with light minerality that brings freshness and long aromatic persistence.
