Native grape variety once cultivated in the centre of town Italy among the hills of the Marche and Abruzzo. It belongs to the family of Trebbiani vines, despite having a lower productivity than the average for this category. It is said that the name "Passerina" comes from the fact that its berries, sweet and were delicious food for the Sparrows.
