2/13/2024 - TannicBeast Likes this wine: 90 points

Italian Wine Scholar Class at The Texas Wine School. 20% Malvasia (di Candia) Aromatica, 40% Trebbiano (Romagnolo?) & 40% "autochthonous white from Romagna")(most likely Albana). Med+ gold due to extended skin contact for the Malvasia & Albana's natural hue. Med+ nose of jasmine, ripe pear, apricot, anise, lavender, papaya, sweet spices, honey. Stainless steel. Dry, w/ med acid & alcohol (13%) & med (-) tannins. The Albana also contributes to the waxy, oily texture. Med+ body, w/ med+ to pronounced flavor intensity and med+ length. Age-worthy. Unique. Great QPR.

Two Months in Roma; 9/6/2022-10/28/2022 (Rome, Italy): By the glass at Armando Al Pantheon, Rome. Somm opened this specially for us when we asked for a glass after the bottle of Costa del Vente. Orange wine with big structure, nutty and beeswax, lots of grip on the palate. Interesting more than delicious.

2019 Cantina San Biagio Vecchio Albana di Romagna Sabbiagialla

Albana di Romagna DOCG more

5/6/2022 - TannicBeast Likes this wine: 90 points

100% Albana di Romagna vinified dry. It is named after the yellow marine sands in which the vines are grown. Med+ gold, due to 24hr skin contact. Clean, complex, med+ yellow apple, pear, white flowers and dried herbs. All stainless. Youthful. Dry, with juicy fruit, med+ acidity, high alcohol (14.5%) and a round mouthfeel. Full-bodied, with a long, savory, pleasantly chewy, mineral finish. It is well balanced and should be paired with full-flavored, creamy pasta dishes, salumi or white meats. Very interesting and intriguing.

Orange wine non estremo, colore dorato intenso quasi ambrato, naso entusiasmante e sorso sapido, ricco, intensamente glicerico, quasi grasso, consuete note sia al naso che al palato di tropicali maturi, con piacevole ma leggerissimo tocco marcescente e caramellato

10/11/2021 - GArpaia Likes this wine: NR

Med orange. Pronounced. High alcohol (14.5%). Full bodied, and structured. Textured and ripe with sharp acidity like an Assyrtiko. Blossom, citrus, honey, apricot. Nutty. Feels almost off dry on the palate, so much is the richness but the acidity is med+. Interesting tea, hay hints. Med+ finish.

Macerated Albana di Romagna.
Two days of skin contact, which will the naturally yellowish hue of the berry's juice makes for a brilliant gold/orange color in the bottle. Fermented with native yeasts, not filtered or fined. There are actually 5 different clones of Albana in the 30 year vineyard the fruit is grown in, all natural variations within the variety. Interestingly Albana seems to be very resistant to oxidizing, so this can be kept in your fridge for days after being opened without losing its vigor.

'Sabbia Gialla' San Biagio Vecchio 2018 - Colore da grappa barricata. Vino complesso, nocciola e mandorla fresca, frutta gialla matura e candita, miele. Gusto sapido e stuzzicante. L'alcol si sente comunque, tanto vale farlo scaldare nel bicchiere così diventa più accattivante. Da abbinare piatti di pesce abbastanza strutturati.

6/1/2018 - quaglia wrote: 85 points

Vitae 2019 (Romagna): Affascinante brillante oro antico. Naso evoluto e complesso, con note di frutta matura, mele tagliate e datteri freschi, e di macchia mediterranea. Cera dolce.
All'assaggio emerge immediatamente una struttura importante, un frutto pieno. La nota alcolica è ben integrata e bilanciata dall'acidità, per una bocca fresca e pulita di lunga beva. Finale fruttato.

8/31/2017 - TannicBeast Likes this wine: 90 points

Deep red ruby, with a semi aromatic nose of red berries, sweet baking spices and dried roses. The palate is dry, but fruit forward and spicy, consistent with the nose. The acidity and tannins are medium to medium (+). The alcohol is high at 15% but is well integrated and not noticeable. This wine is drinking very well now and - although likely to show well for several years - is really not meant to be aged.

This is my first Centesimino, and a mighty fine one at that. Deep red ruby, with a semi aromatic nose of red berries, sweet baking spices, roses and bay leaf. The palate is dry, but fruit forward and spicy, consistent with the nose. The acidity and tannins are medium to medium (+). The alcohol is high at 15% but is well integrated and not noticeable. This wine is drinking very well now and - although likely to show well for several years - is really not meant to be aged. Tried it twice with similar notes.

100% Albana di Romagna, with no oak. Medium (+) to deep gold. The nose is clean, complex, with apple, pear, white flowers, dried herbs and a little earth. The palate is dry, with juicy fruit, medium (+) acidity, medium (+) to high alcohol (14.5%) and a hint of dusty tannins. This is a well balanced, full-bodied white with a long, savory, pleasantly bitter mineral finish. It is named after the yellow sands which are the natural habitat for the Albana varietal. Very interesting and intriguing.

Amphoras' Wine (Bertinoro (FC) - I): A ghost wine..probably this was the last bottle.. an anonymous magnum.
Albana overriped grapes .
Light golden yellow, glicerin.
Honey and some mildew at nose.
Sweet at taste, but with a strong mineral spine. Very nice
