Description

Albarara is an Albana Secco, one of the native vines of Romagna. Tenuta Santa Lucia has been cultivating this vine in Roversano, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, since 2004. This company, in fact, aims to cultivate only native vines of the region, so as not to damage the calcareous soil typical of this area . Tenuta Santa Lucia collects the white berries of Albana by hand and carries out a careful selection both on the plants and in the cellar. Subsequently, the grapes are fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The refinement takes place for 12 months in steel vats on its lees and a further 12 months in the bottle.

The Albarara appears to the eye with a brilliant golden yellow. Its bouquet is reminiscent of yellow flowers, such as broom and wild chamomile. On the palate it is dry, but balanced.

This wine is perfect with fish-based dishes, cheeses and white meats.

The winery Tenuta Santa Lucia

Winery history

The estate was established when the owning family purchased a farmhouse in Sabina and gradually planted vineyards; over time it evolved from producing grapes sold to third parties to bottling its own wines, with a progressive selection of the estate's labels and crus.

Production philosophy

Focused on vineyard care and on highlighting the characteristics of the local terroir: a pursuit of quality in the vineyard and cellar practices aimed at expressing the distinctive character of the grapes and the production site.

Terroir and vineyards

Hilly terrain in the Sabina area, with mixed soils characterized by pebbles and sediments. The location is influenced by the proximity of Monte Soratte and by the geographical area between Rome and the province of Rieti.
