Importer Notes: Albana was granted Italy’s first DOCG for a white grape in 1987. It is one of the country’s most remarkable white wines, and practically all of it grows exclusively in Romagna. Poggio’s rendition comes from vines in both of its plantations in Castrocaro and Brisighella.  The color is a beautiful yellow, and the aromatics jump from the glass with notes of flowers, chamomile, nut oil and lemon. The wine has excellent acidity, and with age it can take on characteristics of Riesling.
