Bright. Floral. A refined white from the hills of Abruzzo.
Tenuta I Fauri’s Passerina d’Abruzzo is a joyful expression of one of the region’s most charming native grapes. Grown organically on the breezy slopes near Francavilla al Mare, the vines soak up the Adriatic light and the mineral touch of Abruzzo’s coastal soils. The result is a wine that shines with freshness, delicacy, and pure Italian character.
In the glass, it gleams pale gold with aromas of white peach, lemon blossom, and wild herbs. The palate is crisp and lively, offering notes of citrus and green apple wrapped in a subtle saline edge — a nod to the nearby sea. There’s a lovely harmony between fruit and minerality, making it both refreshing and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of wine that turns a simple meal into something memorable.
For Irish wine lovers, this Passerina brings a taste of the Adriatic to the table. Perfect with seafood, shellfish, or grilled vegetables, it’s a bright, elegant companion for light dishes and easy conversation — a reminder that the best pleasures are often the simplest.
Why we love it:
We love this Passerina for its pure, breezy energy and effortless drinkability. It captures the essence of Abruzzo — fresh, expressive, and full of quiet charm. A splash of sunshine for Ireland, bottled with sincerity and care.
