Wines made from Albanella grapes of Sicily
Discover the best wines made with Albanella as a single variety or as a blend of Sicily.
Fresh and lively dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with preserved acidity, showing understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and Apennine herbaceous notes. Discreet profile best drunk young. Often blended with verdicchio or trebbiano in Marche whites, contributing to the typicity of Marchigian whites without dominating the terroir. Native white Italian grape from the Marche region, grown on small surfaces in the Apennines.
Major qualitative renewal. Sunny, expressive reds: fleshy, spicy Nero d'Avola (black cherry, blackberry, liquorice), fine, mineral Nerello Mascalese on Etna (recalls Pinot Noir), light, crisp Frappato in Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG. Lively, saline whites: Catarratto, fat, iodised Grillo, taut Carricante, floral Inzolia. Amber, walnutty fortified Marsala.
