2010 Fattoria Zerbina Albana di Romagna Secco

Source: Suburban

Consumption Date: 2/21/2014

Notes: Surprisingly aromatic (though not intense) with apple, pineapple, and wet chalk notes.  Pleasantly acidic with succulent notes of apple fruit, white grape, and a hint of almond and a crisp mineral underpinning.  Mild finish of tangy fruit and minerals.

Although this is not a “serious” wine by any means, it is remarkably fresh, fruity, and compelling for a wine that receives little respect from the experts.  This is very much the type of wine I am looking for in an everyday Italian white, with enough character and complexity to keep it interesting.  Should also be excellent accompaniment to pasta.


Value: Very good to excellent
