๐ท Monticino Rosso Albana 2023 Dry White wine - is a dry white wine from Romagna in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Made entirely from Albana, it offers a regional alternative for anyone who enjoys discovering Italian whites through their grape varieties and places of origin. The wine combines a fresh approach with a savoury edge, making it an inviting choice for a meal with friends or a dinner built around seafood, poultry or pasta.
๐ Monticino Rosso Albana 2023 Dry White wine - Apricot and white peach are part of its fruit character, joined by delicate white flowers. In the glass, the colour is bright straw yellow. The palate is fresh and pleasantly savoury, with mineral nuances that complement the fruit. This combination gives you a white wine with both fragrance and a clear sense of refreshment. Serve it when you want the wine to accompany several courses, rather than choosing a different bottle for every dish on the table.
๐ก Fattoria Monticino Rosso is a family-run estate on the hills around Imola, near Dozza. The Zeoli familyโs connection to the land began in 1965, when Antonio Zeoli purchased the Olmo property. Albana remains one of the local varieties at the heart of the estateโs work, linking this bottle to the farming traditions of Romagna.
๐ก๏ธ Chill the wine and serve at about 10ยฐC. A white-wine glass gives the floral and fruit aromas room to develop as you enjoy the meal. Try it with seafood, poultry, pizza or pasta, or pour it alongside an appetiser. These versatile pairings make it easy to plan a relaxed table around a single bottle. The 2023 vintage comes in a 750ml bottle with 13.5% alcohol by volume and contains sulphites.
