Tenuta Cocci Grifoni Passerina Marche IGT

Known for its generous fruit production, the Passerina grapes have always quenched the thirst of many. Today, with better knowledge of its needs, it can be helped to express its full potential.

Passerina is indeed capable of presenting a floral bouquet with rare freshness. Presented 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 this Passerina a distinctive character, clearly shaped by winery's soils. Each sip is filled with crisp yellow plum, adding fullness to the remarkably fresh character of this wine.

This Passerina is aged in stainless steel tanks for at least 4 months, followed by a minimum of 2 months of bottle aging.
