Grapes

Passerina

Passerina is an ancient white grape variety from central Italy, historically associated above all with the southern Marche and northern Abruzzo, though it is also found in Lazio and other areas of the central Adriatic. Long used in blends, it has been rediscovered for its varietal identity and remarkable oenological versatility. The vine has medium-sized leaves, generally pentagonal and five-lobed; the bunch is medium to large, conical-pyramidal in shape, sometimes winged, ranging from moderately compact to more loose. The berries are spherical, medium to large in size, with a thick, firm and pruinose skin, turning yellowish-green when ripe. The wine is characterised by its straw-yellow colour, often enlivened by greenish or golden highlights, and by a delicate yet distinctive bouquet, featuring white flowers, citrus fruits, pale-fleshed fruit and mineral notes. On the palate, it offers freshness, savouriness, good structure and a lingering finish, underpinned by natural acidity that promotes balance and favourable ageing in the bottle, particularly in the richer styles. It is vinified as still wine, sparkling wine and, in some areas, passito or vino santo. The name is traditionally associated with sparrows, which are attracted by the sweetness of its grapes.
