Bissoni Albana di Romagna Passito DOCG 500ml 2020

Albana has the distinction of being the first white grape awarded DOCG status in 1987. Despite this, it is better known for its versatility rather than quality (a common viticultural theme here in Romagna). Raffaella forgoes the more common dry version and, instead, makes a passito Albana from late harvested fruit. The grapes are left to dry on the vine and, usually, about half of the 1.5 hectare vineyard is affected by botrytis. The wine spends 12-14 months in used barrique and makes a great partner to pecorino served with jam and honey (very Italian).
