2024 Tenuta La Viola Albana Secco Frangipane

A native gem from Romagna that showcases the dry, fresh, and youthful expression of this versatile grape variety. Named after Aldruda Frangipane, Countess of Bertinoro, known for her heroic participation in the defense of Ancona under siege by German imperial troops. This wine features early ripening grapes that result in a pale-colored wine with bright acidity and savory character, offering pleasant drinkability and a long, dry finish with a hint of structural tannin.
