Description

Dar - Romagna DOCG Albana Secco 2018

The 2018 season unfolded with a gentler rhythm on the hills between Romagna and Toscana. After a cool start and well-timed rains, summer arrived with steady warmth, allowing Albana to ripen slowly and evenly above our ancient crystal caves.

The grapes were picked at night on the 3rd of September, to capture their fresh, vibrant character before undergoing a delicate, cool fermentation in stainless steel.

Once bottled, the wine rested quietly in our cellars, developing a harmonious balance of fruit, minerality and the refined luminosity that defines Divinalux wines.

Tasting notes

DAR Romagna DOCG Albana Secco 2018

Bright and brilliant golden color, like antique gold. The nose bursts with ripe fruit — peach and apricot — framed by thyme, rosemary, and sage. The grape’s varietal character is fully revealed in this vintage. On the palate, it’s broad and enveloping, with ripe fruit, a touch of black tea, and perfectly balanced freshness and sapidity. A coherent, elegant, and lively wine, confirming the great potential of Dar Albana even in a generous year.

I absolutely loved this wine. The fragrance is inviting and layered, and the taste is generous without being heavy. There’s a lovely brightness that keeps everything in balance. It left a great impression from the first sip to the last. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat.

Really enjoyable wine. It looks beautiful in the glass and has a comforting scent. The flavour is rounded and fresh at the same time, making it very easy to drink. The ending is long and smooth. A great choice for many occasions.
