Passerina

A native of central Italy, Passerina produces vibrant, aromatic whites with citrus, white peach, and floral notes. Naturally high in acidity, it retains freshness even in warm climates, making it an ideal choice for crisp, food-friendly wines. Often overshadowed by Pecorino, it shares a similar profile but with a more delicate, lighter-bodied nature. Dry, sparkling, and late-harvest versions exist, highlighting its versatility. Thought to be an ancient variety, it has been revitalized in regions like Marche and Abruzzo, where it thrives. With its lively character and bright acidity, Passerina is a hidden gem among Italian white wines.
