Descrizione

The Romagna Albana DOCG Passito "Soprano" from Tenuta Uccellina represents a superlative example of the excellence Romagna can offer in terms of sweet wines. Made exclusively with hand-picked Albana grapes, this wine is the result of a meticulous selection of grapes that are left to dry on special racks for several months before vinification.

The color is intensely golden, with reflections that transition to amber as the wine matures. On the nose, the Romagna Albana DOCG Passito "Soprano" presents a complex and enveloping bouquet; notes of apricot, preserved peach, acacia honey, and vanilla blend into a rich aroma that immediately invites tasting.

On the palate, the wine is extraordinarily balanced, with a sweetness well balanced by acidity, making it long-lasting and never cloying. The texture is soft and velvety, rich in nuances ranging from dried fruit (walnuts, almonds) to delicate spicy hints due to aging.

Perfect to serve at the end of a meal, the Romagna Albana DOCG Passito "Soprano" pairs magnificently with desserts made from dried fruits, blue cheeses, and more traditionally, with almond cake. It is also an excellent meditation companion on its own, served at a temperature of around 12-14°C.

The elegance and complexity of the Romagna Albana DOCG Passito "Soprano" make this wine a true gem for lovers of refined sweet wines, a product that aptly represents the Romagnan winemaking tradition enhanced by modern enology. The attention to quality and tradition that Tenuta Uccellina dedicates to the production of this wine is evident in every sip.

Winery history

Founded in the 1980s and originally led by Alberto Rusticali, Tenuta Uccellina has developed by focusing on the recovery and cultivation of traditional Romagna varieties such as Sangiovese, Albana and Trebbiano, alongside lesser-known local grapes like Uva Longanesi and Famoso. The winery operates vineyards in the hills and on the plain, with its production facility in Russi.

Production philosophy

Utmost respect for the grapes and the land: family-run operations, in‑house management of all production stages, and enhancement of indigenous characteristics with a focus on quality and territorial identity.

Terroir and vineyards

Production is linked to the territory of Romagna, with vineyards on the hills of Brisighella in the Vena del Gesso Romagnola area and plantings on the plains around Russi.

Awards and recognitions

Several of the winery's wines have received recognition in national and international guides and competitions, including mentions and scores in AIS/Vitae guides, Gilbert & Gaillard awards, medals in international competitions, and vintage-specific accolades listed in the awards section of the website.
