In
Italian, "Baciami" means "Kiss me" and what could be more appropriate
than the "kiss" of this sweet little wine, a wine that has quite a
history. According to the story, when the Roman Princess Galla Placida
first tasted this in AD 382, she declared that this wine was so
smooth it "should be drunk in gold." But that was then. Today, Albana
di Romagna is one of precious few wines to be awarded DOCG status by
Italian wine authorities. So we'd say: if you don't have a gold cup to
drink it in, don't worry - a simple wine glass will do just as well!
Tasting notes: The perfect match to the Cagnina, sweet but no sticky with pleasing ripe fruit, aromas and flavors. |
