Historical-cultural information and curiosities: From a vine known since Roman times, this was the first DOCG recognized in the region. A legend tells that to the daughter of Theodore, after a long walk, was offered this wine in an old jug. She was amazed by the excellent taste of this wine and said, "Not so humbly you should be drunk, but you have to be drunk in gold, to pay homage to your sweetness!" And from that moment, at the court of Ravenna, Albana di Romagna was drunk in precious golden goblets.
