Alban wine is a notable wine of Ancient Rome that was grown in the Colli Albani (Alban Hills) region, 20 kilometres (12 mi) Southeast of Rome, at the foot of Mt.
(Natural History Book XIV) Pliny described the wines as "extremely sweet and occasionally dry".
[3] It was known as one of the preferred wines of the Roman upper class and was commonly made as several varieties-very sweet, sweetish, rough, and sharp.
Alban wine earned several mentions in the work of the Roman poet Horace.
It was listed as one of the fine wines served at Nasidienus' dinner party in Satires 2.8.
