- This dry and elegant wine boasts an aromatic blend of fruity scents, including citrus and apple, underscored by delicate floral notes. Its refreshing and crisp profile is beautifully balanced with mineral tones, culminating in a mouth-watering finish.
The grapes underwent 12 hours maceration to extract the desired aromas and flavours. Following a gentle pressing, the must was clarified via cold static decanting and fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel. Ageing took place in stainless steel for three months, allowing the purity of fruit and the Marche terroir to be fully expressed.
It is a dry, elegant, aromatic wine with fruity scents of citrus and apple complemented by delicate floral notes. It is crisp and refreshing with lovely balance, mineral tones and a mouth-watering finish.

Winery | Passerina is an ancient and traditional grape variety from the Marche wine region of Central Italy, where it produces wines with an intense minerality. The berry's skin is relatively thick and this Italian variety produces high levels of natural sugars balanced by naturally high acidity. The grapes come from a vineyard 250 to 300 metres above sea level. The soil is rich in minerals and clay. A Mediterranean climate is found throughout the region, with an average annual rainfall of 800 millimetres, mainly falling during the winter months, which builds water reserves in the soils to nourish the vines throughout the typically hot and dry summers. The vineyards are cultivated following organic principles; herbicides and pesticides are not used. The grapes are manually harvested when they have reached optimal ripeness. |
