Tasting Notes
Here is a crazy cool wine from Emilia Romagna in Italy. It's a skin contact (orange wine) made from Albana, a rare and native grape to the region. The wine also has some residual sugar which works incredibly well with the phenolic texture and tight acidity. The best thing about this wine, however, is the way it opens up and evolves over a number of days. Upon opening there is real richness and decadence to the wine, but over the next few days you will see the wine become finer, with more acidity and less sweetness. Just an incredible wine that over delivers. - Chris L
Emilia-Romagna is home to some of Italy's most loved wines, Lambrusco chief among them, and turns out a whole spread of whites and reds to match the region's rich culinary tradition. It stretches around 240km across the middle of the country, tucked between Tuscany to the south, Lombardy and Veneto to the north and the Adriatic Sea to the east.
Rolling hills and Apennine peaks in the west give way to the lower plains around Parma, Modena and Bologna, while the river Po runs west to east along the northern border, moderating temperatures and sending cooling breezes across the vineyards nearby. The main grapes here are Malvasia, Lambrusco, Trebbiano, Bonarda, Barbera and Sangiovese.
