This is what good wine from the Albana grape tastes like

The Albana is an ancient, fairly rare Italian white grape that you mainly find in the Emilia-Romagna region. The Albana gives relatively neutral white wines. Most Italian winemakers make sweet wine from the Albana grape.

Albana has been grown in Italy since the Middle Ages and some believe that wine was already pressed from it in Roman times. We will probably never know. It grows mainly in Emilia-Romagna and there are a few vineyards with Albana in Lombardy and Liguria. Albana was the first grape to receive DOCG status, in Lombardy.

Albana once made an exotic excursion because DNA research has shown that it is the same grape as the Riminèse from Corsica.

Most Italian winemakers use Albana for sweet wines. The grape is also very suitable for that. Some make an accessible, relatively neutral dry white from it and recently there is a winemaker who even makes an orange wine from it, fermented in Georgian amphorae.
