Description
The Passerina grape is a very ancient white grape variety originating in central Italy. Its native land is most likely located towards the Adriatic coast, in the Abruzzo and the Marche regions. It certainly belongs to the group of Trebbiano grapes. Its name derives from the rather small size of its berries and the fact that sparrows often peck at them. The characteristic feature of this vine is its good capacity to accumulate sugars without a corresponding decrease in acid components at harvest time. It is therefore very often characterised by strong acidity.
