Most likely the name Albana comes from white grape quality, which is considered the best of white grapes, from which "albus" (white per excellence), then Albana. Legend tells that the beautiful blonde haired woman, Galla Placidia, in 435 BC came in the hillside village in the plain between Forlì and Cesena: impressed by so much beauty the hospitable villagers offered, in a crude terracotta jug, the sweet and strong wine of the place; she, ecstatic from the goodness of that nectar that sloped gently into veins making her happy, exclaimed: "not so humbly you should be drank, but I must drink you in gold (“berti in oro” in Italian).” Since then, according to the legend, the village where the monarch had quenched is called Bertinoro. The first who made us reach precise information on the origin of the wine was Marcus Terentius Varrone (116-27 BC), who in his "De Rustica" states that "the Etruscans drank down the vast marshes and filled in with a vast network of rivers and canals, the Po Valley where he planted trees and vines from Central Italy, like the elm, ash, albana, trebbiano, the hips and the pergola". In Marzabotto, home of Al di là del fiume, stand the ruins of an ancient Etruscan city. At the time of our grandparents it was the wine of the everyday life of the peasants
