Albana di Romagna Passito Gradisca 2000
Romagna Albana (Emilia-Romagna)
Pleasing and interesting example of Albana passito. The visive
evaluation shows a beautiful amber yellow with nuances of golden
yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals am enchanting symphony of
elegant, refined and well defined aromas, of great personality. There
can be perceived good and intense aromas of dried apricot, candies,
caramel, peach jam, dried fig, dried flowers, honey, skin of citrus
fruits, enamel and a hint of vanilla. The mouth has an excellent
correspondence with the nose, soft, round and well balanced by alcohol,
pleasingly sweet which is well balanced as well. The finish is very
persistent with long and pleasing flavors of honey, peach jam and dried
apricot. A passito wine of great elegance and well made and will be
capable of giving good emotions even tasted by itself. Gradisca is
produced with dried Albana grapes and the must is fermented and aged in
small casks.
