San Basso
Known for its generous fruit production, the Passerina grape has always quenched the thirst of many. Today, we understand its needs and can help it express its full potential. It is indeed capable of presenting a floral bouquet with rare freshness.
We offer it in its still version, from the grapes
of Tenuta San Basso, brimming with May flowers
and rounded out by ripe fruits. The opening is
citrusy with notes of cedar, soon followed by linden and hawthorn blossoms. Then come the ripe fruits: yellow plum, lychee, and green apple. This last note recurs harvest after harvest, giving our Passerina a distinctive character, clearly shaped by our soils. Each sip is filled with crisp yellow plum, adding fullness to the remarkably fresh character of this wine.
