Descrizione

The Passerina DOC from the Chronicon Line, produced by the Zaccagnini winery, is a prized expression of one of the most intriguing indigenous grape varieties of central Italy. This white wine stands out for its extraordinary freshness and liveliness, offering a refined and surprising sensory experience.

Zaccagnini's Passerina is cultivated in carefully selected vineyards, where the microclimate and clay soil impart a unique and distinctive character to the grapes. After a manual harvest ensuring the selection of the best grapes, the wine is vinified using methods that respect and enhance the natural qualities of the grape variety.

Visually, the Passerina DOC Chronicon Line presents a bright straw yellow color, sometimes with greenish reflections, hinting at the freshness to come. On the nose, it opens with a delicate and complex bouquet, featuring floral notes of jasmine and acacia, enriched with hints of white fruits like peach and pineapple, and a slight touch of aromatic herbs.

On the palate, the wine reveals a perfect balance between acidity and structure, maintaining a pleasant lightness. The freshness is accompanied by pronounced sapidity, making it particularly suitable for pairing with fish dishes, seafood, and fresh cheeses.

The Passerina DOC from the Chronicon Line by Zaccagnini thus best expresses the typicality of the grape variety and the territory, ideal for those seeking a white wine with personality and versatility. An excellent choice for dining in good company or for a sophisticated aperitif.

Winery history

The winery was established as a family-run business in Bolognano and over time has developed a strong territorial identity centered on native Abruzzo grape varieties and the emblematic "Tralcetto". The company website and promotional materials state that the modern history of the estate begins in 1978; documents from the Argea group cite an alternative date, so public sources disagree on the exact year of foundation. In 2023 Cantina Zaccagnini joined the Argea group; the estate is also known for having transformed its cellar spaces into a venue for art since the 1980s.

Production philosophy

Highlighting the Abruzzo region and its native grape varieties with an approach that blends tradition and modern techniques, the brand also conveys a strong artistic sensibility, presenting visual culture as an integral part of the wine experience.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located on the hills of Pescara in Abruzzo, in a territory that ranges from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic coast. The estate reports vineyards distributed across the Colli Pescaresi with microclimatic conditions moderated by mountain breezes.
