Made from 100% Passerina from the San Giovanni vineyard where the vines are
50+ years old and grown in clay over limestone. The grapes are macerated between
12-16 hours using whole-cluster, with spontaneous fermentation in stainless
steel. The wine is aged on fine lees for five months plus two months in 54 litre
glass demijohns. The brief skin contact adds a layer of complexity, and
intrigue, to a sometimes underrated variety. Almond notes and stone fruit with a
hint of orange blossom, the palate is dry and refreshing with some grip and
texture.
