Zavalloni Romagna Albana Secco is a distinctive dry white wine from Emilia-Romagna, made entirely from Albana, one of Italy’s most characterful indigenous grape varieties. With its generous 14% ABV, textured style, and family-led craftsmanship spanning six generations, it offers a compelling expression of the hills around Cesena and the long-standing winemaking traditions of the Zavalloni family.MakuprofiiliIn the glass, it shows a straw-yellow color with golden reflections, hinting at both ripeness and depth. The nose is especially expressive and persistent, with floral notes of cyclamen and jasmine leading the way, supported by a layered aromatic profile that gives the wine real presence. On the palate, it feels soft and rounded from the outset, with warmth and structure that quickly give way to a lively, crisp, and pleasantly zesty character. A subtle touch of tannin adds lift and length to the finish, giving the wine more dimension than the average white. While enjoyable now for its freshness and texture, it should also reward short-term cellaring over the next few years.ViininvalmistusProduced in the hills near Cesena in Emilia-Romagna, this wine reflects the region’s warm climate and the family’s careful approach to viticulture.
