Tre Monti, Vitalba Albana in Anfora 2024 White

Tre Monti Vitalba Albana in Anfora 2024 is a distinctive orange wine that showcases Albana, a traditional white grape of Romagna, in its most expressive form. Made in the Georgian qvevri tradition with an exceptionally long skin maceration, it offers remarkable depth, texture and savoury complexity rather than the freshness of a conventional white wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep, striking orange-gold colour, reflecting its extended contact with the skins. Its nose is initially restrained, gradually revealing aromas of very ripe apricot, dried yellow stone fruit, honey, almond bitterness and candied citrus peel. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with a clean, intense finish marked by dried apricot and marzipan. Noticeable tannins and a gentle astringency give the wine a firm, gastronomic character. Its structure should allow it to develop further in bottle, although it is already compelling with food.

Production
The Albana grapes are fermented traditionally in a buried 470-litre Georgian clay amphora, or qvevri, without selected commercial yeasts or temperature control. Skin maceration lasts between 70 and 120 days, depending on the vintage, extracting the wine’s deep colour, tannic structure and layered flavours. This hands-off approach results in a powerful, textured expression of the grape and its Romagna origins.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for the table, particularly alongside grilled fish baked in a salt crust, roasted pumpkin with bacon crumble or mature, aged cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 12–14°C, to balance its richness while preserving its aromatic depth. Decanting for 30–60 minutes can help open the initially reserved aromas and soften the tannins before serving.
