Description

The Passerina d'Abruzzo DOC Linea Vigna Corvino from Az. Agricola Contesa is born in the heart of Abruzzo, a region renowned for the quality of its white wines. Made from the indigenous Passerina grape variety, this wine expresses the freshness and unique character of the territory, characterized by hilly soils and a temperate Mediterranean climate. The winemaking method enhances the aromatic purity and delicacy of the fruit, maintaining excellent structure and balanced acidity, which gives the wine a pleasant liveliness on the palate.

On the nose, elegant floral notes open up, accompanied by hints of white-fleshed fruit and citrus, while the taste reveals a pleasant sapidity combined with a fresh and harmonious finish. Perfect paired with seafood dishes such as shellfish and grilled fish, the Passerina d'Abruzzo DOC Linea Vigna Corvino represents an excellent expression of the Abruzzo wine heritage, capable of delivering moments of genuine pleasure.

Winery history

Contesa was founded as a winemaking project linked to the Pasetti family; online sources describe the central role of Rocco Pasetti and his family in managing the estate. The cellar carved into the hillside was completed in the 2000s, and from there the estate developed several ranges of wines focused on the grape varieties typical of Abruzzo.

Production philosophy

Production aimed at enhancing the Abruzzo terroir and employing low-impact winemaking practices: selective use of wood, controlled fermentations, and attention to preserving the freshness of native grape varieties. Sources also report a commitment to sustainability and a transition to organic practices and environmental certification.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards in the Collecorvino area, on the hills northwest of Pescara: favourable south-facing exposure, clay-limestone soils and elevations of around 250 m above sea level; conditions considered suitable for Montepulciano and other local grape varieties.
