Reminds me of a Chablis — 8 months ago
We opened this 21018 on November 18,2023 because I wanted one more glass to wrap up the night after a wonderful dinner of osso bucco, Milanese risotto and barbaresco. Thought my husband might pass this one as it is higher alcohol than he likes but wow we were both pleasantly surprised. First sip gives me anise, some chocolate and herbs like Rosemary. It’s beautiful already and we just opened this puppy!!! — a year ago
Finally a very good pecorino
There is a big talk about this variety, but to be honest i am more often than not disappointed
Here i am surprised in a good way.
7 months on the lees, no oak.
Very textural
It reminds me of a Southern France white wine
The wine is complex, it has depth, it is fun and it is also complex.
It's very persistent in the aftertaste
The right amount of freshness
I am so pleased with this. — 2 months ago

2020 vintage.
Passerina is an ancient grape grown in Marche in clay and calcareous soil. Fermented in stainless steel with ageing “sur lies” for 4 months.
Fragrant and floral with citrus and honeysuckle on the nose. Dry with medium acidity. Pear, almond and citrus with a savoury, stoney minerality on the finish.
We BBQ‘d local fish.
Ling cod cheeks, Sablefish collars and Chinook Salmon bellies.

Susan brought this when she visited in April. From her wine “collection.” — 6 months ago
Very surprising
A grape variety that normally gives fruit and fun style wines
Never pretentious or overwhelming
In this case we may lack a bit of fruit, but we have a wet stone salty tingling mineral that is unheard of for a passerina and that is very rare altogether
It lingers too
Aperitif or with raw seafood i would say
I am guessing the bottle ageing has worked well for this wine..probably first time for me with a passerina 4yo — 8 months ago
