A rare wine with very small production (250 cases of halves). Although sold as Albana di Romagna Passito DOCG (dried grapes) but in fact is made with naturally botrytised grapes. Sweet, intense, high quality but very expensive. The 2006 needs time even in halves.

Nose was white grape with a little creosote like the wine was put next to a bbq for a short time. Beautiful nose. Too sweet for me, but the mouthfeel was incredibly viscous, rich.

Italy's III Sweet wines fair (Zola Predosa (Bo) - Villa Garagnani): Very light straw yellow. Intense, complex and particular at nose, with scent of candy agrumes (cedro!). Very well balanced between sweetness and acidity + minerals. Intense and persistent with taste of nice fruit. AiS 91/100; CONCORSO: 85/90; CONCORSO > 91
