The column “In Vino Veritas” features the Cinquantacinque Albana Rosa

16.06.25

The prestigious wine column “In Vino Veritas” by Il Messaggero has dedicated an article to Cinquantacinque Albana Rosa, the elegant and rare Rosato IGT from Emilia-Romagna produced by Cantina Mingazzini.

Written by Franco M. Ricci, President of the Italian Sommelier Foundation, the article highlights how our winery brings tradition into the future. With deep family roots and cutting-edge winemaking technology, we preserve the identity of historic grape varieties like Albana Rosa.

Albana Rosa is a rare native clone, one of the few to survive vine uprootings in the region. Its bright fuchsia-pink grapes undergo a slow, cold maceration process, resulting in a rosé wine with a unique pale cherry-pink hue. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, with notes of juicy wild berries, red currant, wild strawberries, cherry jelly, rose petals, mineral undertones, citrus zest, and delicate spices.

On the palate, this Italian rosé wine is juicy and well-balanced, offering a lively sapidity, fruity and citrus flavors, and a long, refreshing balsamic finish. It pairs perfectly with traditional Italian delicacies such as culatello and figs.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian rosé with a story to tell, Cinquantacinque Albana Rosa is a must-try.
