Monticino Rosso Romagna Albana D.O.C.G. “A” 2018

Description

Tasting

The color is intense straw yellow, with greenish reflections. From the first breath the Albana gives feelings of understated elegance. The nose starts with prominent mineral notes that slowly fade into a cascade of flowers and then yellow fruit. It expresses a character full of strength and elegance . The pace is relentless, growing in intensity as the mineral flavors mingle with those of citrus fruits, sage and thyme, then marrying in a balance that invites you to take one sip after another. The finish is complex and enveloping, with a lingering mineral pleasantness.
