2021 VINTAGE FEATURES

Albana is a great variety; we are in love with it even though it can be mischievous.
In fact, apart from drought-related problems, it suffered from floral abortion and yield was further reduced.
However, we will take comfort in sipping a rich, mellow wine supported by vibrant acidity. For this reason, apart from pairings with chocolate and desserts, it is also a special match with cheese.
