FATTORIA MONTICINO ROSSO 2009 ALBANA
For those unfamiliar, Albana di Romagna is an ancient white grape varietal grown in Italy’s Emilia Romagna region that is often considered a wine of lesser importance. Regardless, there are a handful of producers like Fattoria Monticino Rosso that consistently produce excellent versions. This one offers rich flavors of honey and pear fruit along with notes of minerals and a nice zip of acidity. There’s also just a slight touch of sweetness making this an especially good warm weather white that’sgreat alone or with food. A very pleasant taste of Emilia Romagna at a very nice price.
