Origin and history of the vine

The name Passerina derives from the small size of its berries and the fact that sparrows have a particular fondness for its sweet, yellow grapes. Underrated for many years, it has returned to prominence for the quality of its grapes, both in single-varietal and blended winemaking.

Cultivation area
Orsogna 440m above sea level – 16 km from the Adriatic Sea and 16 km from the Maiella.

In the vineyard
The Abruzzo pergola system (a type of awning or pergola), the training system that best restores the vine's natural growth, is used. In the pergola system, on a horizontal wire roof, the vines grow harmoniously and naturally, their leaves basking in the wind and sun. This training system cannot be mechanized and therefore relies on the manual skills and experience of the winemaker. Vine cultivation in the pergola system will persist as long as the smallholding survives.

In the cellar
100% Demeter biodynamic grapes.

Winemaking
Spontaneous fermentation works with what nature offers each year and relies on the strength and health of the soil and vineyard to produce grapes rich in yeasts essential for fermentation in the cellar. Spontaneous fermentation is the essential condition for creating a wine capable of capturing the authentic flavors of a terroir.
