Description The area where this wine is produced is very extensive and covers land at the foot of the hills, on the hills and at the foot of the mountains – generally about 100 to 200 meters above sea level. The soil is calcareous and the best vineyards face south and east to ensure that the grapes ripen properly.

Albana di Romagna is made from Alabana grapes, a product that is native to this region and not imported like many other grapes for wine making. It is said that in olden days, Galla Placidia was most enthusiastic about this wine and that Frederick Barbarossa was also enthralled with its taste.
