Description

The Passerina Brut Metodo Charmat from Velenosi is a splendid sparkling expression that takes us to the heart of Marche, a region renowned for its diverse and high-quality viticulture. This wine, made with the native Passerina variety, stands out for its freshness and citrus notes, making it an ideal companion for aperitifs or light dishes.

Vinification begins with a careful selection of grapes, followed by gentle pressing. The Passerina grapes are fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve all their natural aromas. This is followed by the sparkling process using the Metodo Charmat, which involves a second fermentation in large closed containers to maintain the finesse of the bubbles and the integrity of the aroma.

The color of this wine is delicately straw-yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, it opens with intensity, offering fragrances of white flowers, green apple, and a fine touch of citrus. On the palate, it is lively and balanced, with a nice acidity that cleanses the palate and invites the next sip. The bubbles are fine and persistent, enriching the tasting experience.

The ideal pairing for Velenosi's Passerina Brut is with seafood appetizers, sashimi, or lightly seasoned fish dishes. It can also be considered an excellent aperitif, to be served well-chilled to enhance its refreshing qualities.

Serve at a temperature of 6-8°C to fully enjoy its organoleptic qualities. This Passerina Brut wine is a jewel from the Velenosi winery, which continues to amaze with its ability to combine tradition and innovation in the creation of high-level wines.
