Albana DOCG

Albana DOCG vineyards & wine estates for sale in Emilia-Romagna

The Albana DOCG wine designation is produced in Romagna, Italy. This area encompasses the eastern part of Emilia-Romagna, including the provinces of Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena, Rimini, and parts of Bologna. The Romagna region is characterized by its diverse terroirs, ranging from rolling hills to coastal plains, with a favorable climate influenced by the Adriatic Sea.

The Albana DOCG designation holds a significant place in the history of Italian wine. It was the first white wine in Italy to receive the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) status, the highest level of Italian wine classification. The Albana grape variety has a long history in the region, and its cultivation can be traced back to ancient times. The designation was established in 1987 to protect and promote the unique qualities and traditional winemaking practices associated with Albana wines.

The production of Albana DOCG wines focuses exclusively on wines made from the Albana variety, an indigenous white grape that thrives in Romagna's diverse terroirs. The production regulations require careful vineyard management and yield control to ensure quality. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo rigorous selection. The winemaking process may involve various techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels, followed by aging in stainless steel or wooden barrels.

26-HA ESTATE WITH ALBANA DOCG VINEYARDS AND COUNTRY HOUSE FOR SALE IN BERTINORO

Vigneti Bertinoro

On the hills of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, near Bertinoro, 26.2-ha estate with farmhouses and vineyards for sale. The property consists of a single body vineyard registered to Albana DOCG (2.8 ha) and Romagna IGT (19.6 ha).

Some olive trees (6,700 m²) are scattered around the property and are mainly used to divide the various plots of land and vineyards.

Also within the property are two large rural farmhouses with various outbuildings (approx. 1,400 m² in total), entirely to be restored but potentially very suitable for the creation of an Agriturismo with educational activities on the side. The volumes are also more than sufficient for the creation of a wine cellar so that the vineyard can be exploited directly.

It is also possible to purchase with (separate negotiation) the farmhouse with the wine cellar and the owners’ apartment, which is just a two-minute drive from the vineyards.

The estate is about 1 km from the town of Bertinoro, which offers basic services, and just over 5’ drive from Forlimpopoli. The motorway junction is not far away and makes it possible to reach Cesena in about 20’. From the estate you can easily reach the sea and the famous beaches of the Adriatic Riviera.
