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.
