ROMAGNA ALBANA SPUMANTE is the Denomination of the Albana Sparkling Wine, produced according to the new regulations come into force in 1995 for first time. The maximum yield per ha should not exceed 9 tons. Any forcing practice is forbidden. Before drying, grapes shall have reached a minimum natural alcoholic strength of 13%, 16% after drying. The net dry essence shall not be less than 21 gr/liter. These are the parameters laid down in the regulations. Then, every wine-producer shall do his best to exalt the bouquet and the characteristics of this so loved and so hated vine species. At Celli, we love it because, for us, it is a tradition, a culture, a souvenir of our childhood when our grandfather allowed us to soak the "ciambella" (the typical Romagna-cake) in that golden and slightly sparkling wine which brought such a gaiety in our houses.
2019 VINTAGE FEATURES
The grapes of the Maestrina estate reach optimal ripeness every year, thanks to location and soil type, both allowing balance between sugar content and acidity. Harvest took place in the fourth week of September, bunches were in good health after the required over-ripening on plants. Talandina 2019 is extremely pleasant and drinkable, despite 80 g residual sugar, especially due to its acidity.
