Marche IGT Passerina

San Basso

Known as a generous vine when producing grapes, Passerina has always satisfied the thirst of a large number of people. Today we know how to make this grape variety express its real potential, a floral bouquet of rare freshness.
We offer the still version, from the grapes of Tenuta San Basso, full of spring flowers and nicely rounded ripe fruit. The wine opens with citrus and hints of cedar, the linden flowers and fresh chamomile gradually appear. The final scent is our signature aroma that occurs harvest after harvest, a recognizable trait of our Passerina as defined by our terrior.
The taste is full of ripe yellow plums and pink apple, giving fullness to the very fresh character of this wine.

The birdsfoot trefoil is one of the typical plants of the Mediterranean vegetation. We admire its tenacity and resistance, together with the ability to adapt to different climates and terrains, while always remaining itself. A bit like our Passerina.

Talking about microclimate, soils, the set of factors that determine the uniqueness of a territory, what is called terroir, is of primary importance.

These elements define the character of a wine, they influence its sensorial traits.
Aromas and flavors will develop during fermentation and maturation, enriching the wine with hints that originate in the nature of a specific territory.

All this creates the peculiarities that see the first and main gustatory definition in the vine within a macro-area.
