On the nose, it offers intense aromas of peach, apricot and grapefruit, enriched by pleasant mineral notes. On the palate, the sip is fresh and lively, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that balances the drink, finishing with a long \u003cstrong\u003emineral aftertaste\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to these distinctive flavours, this white pairs perfectly with \u003cstrong\u003efish carpaccio\u003c\/strong\u003e, sushi, fresh shellfish and soft spun cheeses, enhancing every seafood dish with great precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from Crecchio, in the province of Chieti, a highly renowned area within the \u003cstrong\u003eTerre d’Abruzzo\u003c\/strong\u003e denomination. The \u003cstrong\u003ePasserina\u003c\/strong\u003e grape is a white variety historically linked to the Adriatic coast, belonging to the Trebbiano family and known for its small berries. In the Abruzzo microclimate, the vine shows a remarkable ability to accumulate sugars during ripening, while maintaining its acidic component intact until harvest. The Tenuta Ulisse winery enhances this ancient viticultural heritage to offer a true \u003cstrong\u003eexpression of the territory\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with the selection of the grape bunches, which are cooled using a conditioning tunnel for rapid temperature reduction. This is followed by a \u003cstrong\u003ecold skin cryomaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential for delicately extracting aromatic compounds. After destemming and pressing in an inert environment, the must undergoes static clarification. The subsequent slow \u003cstrong\u003efermentation at a controlled temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place at 11°C in steel tanks. The wine completes its cycle with a \u003cstrong\u003ethree-month maturation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by further bottle ageing to stabilise its organoleptic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePasserina is an \u003cstrong\u003eancient native grape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e from central Italy, originating from the Adriatic coast and known for its small berries, which were historically much appreciated by sparrows.
