What Makes Passerina Special?

Passerina is an Italian white grape variety grown primarily in the central regions, including Marche and Abruzzo. It has been rediscovered by artisanal producers for its ability to express freshness, purity and texture in the glass.

Passerina wines are typically:

• Crisp and refreshing
• Citrus and stone fruit driven
• Light to medium-bodied
• Delicately floral with a saline hint

These qualities make Passerina a fantastic wine for food pairing or enjoying on its own.

The Giannicola di Carlo Terreum 91 Passerina 2022 is an excellent illustration of how this grape can shine when treated with care by a dedicated producer.

The Terroir of Abruzzo

Abruzzo sits between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, offering a diverse landscape of hills, coastal plains and mineral-rich soils. This combination delivers:

• Ample sunshine
• Cooling sea breezes
• A long growing season
• Balanced ripeness with brisk acidity

The vineyards used for this Passerina are organically farmed, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture. The result is a wine that feels vibrant, pure and expressive of its place.

Our Giannicola di Carlo Terreum 91 Passerina 2022 comes from parcels selected for their ability to produce wines with clarity, tension and complexity.
