Passerina
Passerina is a white grape variety from central Italy, rediscovered in recent decades. It is especially common in the borderland between Marche and Abruzzo, in particular in the Offida area. Its curious name seems to derive from the fact that sparrows love to peck at its tasty berries. The wine is very interesting for its fresh, citrusy and pleasantly fruity profile. It is a simple white, which thanks to its good natural acidity, is also made sparkling with the Martinotti method.
Vino Spumante Brut Passerina Primo Casalfarneto
The Primo Passerina sparkling wine is produced by the Marche-based company Casalfarneto, which produces wines in the hilly areas of the province of Ancona. The winery manages 35 hectares of vineyards and focuses on the cultivation of native Marche vines such as Verdicchio, Passerina, Pecorino or Lacrima.
Once in the cellar, the Passerina grapes undergo a soft pressing, to then be vinified in white and sparkling in autoclave according to the Charmat method.
