Bessagalena combines the spirited energy of Trebbiano Romagnolo with the enveloping warmth of Albana, its name evoking the curious gait of a tortoise (bessa and galena). Pale straw-yellow with greenish highlights, it offers aromas of white flowers, citrus, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it is fresh, dynamic, and well-balanced, with a clean, mineral finish. An honest, highly drinkable white wine from Romagna—perfect for aperitifs, seafood, and vegetable dishes.

Paglia is the orange wine from Azienda Agricola Baccagnano, produced from Albana grapes via extended skin maceration. Fermentation begins like that of a red wine, followed by aging in concrete tanks on the fine lees throughout the winter. In the spring, the wine is racked, bottled, and left to rest before release. Sporting an amber hue with coppery highlights, Paglia offers aromas of dried fruit, orange zest, chamomile, and tea. On the palate, it is full-bodied, textural, and tannic, with a pleasantly bitter finish. It is an authentic wine with a strong personality, crafted for those who appreciate intense, unconventional flavors.

In the Romagna dialect, *Pirona* means "spinning top"—a reference to the shape of Georgian *qvevri*, the terracotta vessels in which this wine ferments on the skins for 31 days. During maceration, the cap remains intact and unbroken, allowing the wine to follow its own natural course. After racking, the wine ages in stainless steel tanks until late spring. In the glass, it displays a golden yellow hue with amber highlights. The nose offers notes of dried apricot, honey, aromatic herbs, and orange zest. On the palate, it is full-bodied, textured, and balanced, featuring pleasant acidity, delicate tannins, and a long, savory finish.

The name "52 Fuochi" (52 Hearths) alludes to the ancient *Descriptio Romandiole* census of 1371, which recorded the 52 families belonging to the parish of San Nicola di Baccagnano. The grapes are harvested at peak ripeness and undergo fermentation with a brief period of skin contact. After racking, the wine undergoes natural aging and rests in the bottle for 18 months before release. Ruby red in color with garnet hues, it offers aromas of red cherry, violet, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is fresh, elegant, and savory, featuring fine tannins and a balanced finish that authentically expresses the character of Romagna Sangiovese.

Alveda is Baccagnano’s most structured Albana; it is produced via spontaneous fermentation and aged for nine months in barriques, followed by eighteen months of bottle aging. In the glass, it stands out for its intense golden-yellow color and a bouquet of ripe fruit, subtle toasted notes, dried flowers, and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, elegant, and persistent, with perfectly integrated oak. A white wine of great character, capable of combining depth and balance with the presence of a fine red.
