Passerina, Ciavolich

The Passerina is a native Abruzzo grape rediscovered only a few years ago, also grown in the Marche, however, the grape grown in Abruzzo, on the hills just below the Apennines produce more important wine with bigger structure. The Ciavolich winery produces two Passerina wines from the same small vineyard, one sparkling and one still, the still version is an elegant white wine, refreshing, with a lively acidity and very delicate and dry taste. Perfect as a an aperitif or raw fish, only a few thousand bottles are produced.
