WINE TYPE: White
Passerina is a grape indigenous to Abruzzo and is widely planted in Italy’s Marche region which borders the Adriatic Sea. The flavours are subtle; it’s floral, light, and has a nervy finish. Best paired with lighter fare, shellfish or linguine and clams work great.
Winery: Colle Maggio PASSERINA
Passerina “Colle Maggio” is the most recent success in Torre Zambra’s endeavour to revive Abruzzo’s precious native heirloom cultivars. The essence of Villamagna’s dependable hill terroir finds a powerful voice in this monovarietal white made out of Passerina grapes.
The vineyards are on the slopes of Colle Maggio hill, in Villamagna, about 200 metres above sea level and with perfect south-east exposure. Yield per hectare is around 120 quintals, on limestone and clay soils that imbue the wines with their minerality and longevity. Manual picking guarantees that only the clusters at the best stage of ripeness make their way to the wooden crates.
