The grapes are carefully selected and after pressing, fermentation begins in steel tanks, after which the wine is re-fermented in autoclaves using the Charmat method. The colour is pale straw yellow with silver highlights, while the aromas are reminiscent of cedar and white flowers. The taste is fresh, agile, mineral, sapid and harmonious
The Passerina Brut Sparkling Wine from Velenosi is a wine originating from the Marche region, specifically from the area of Ascoli Piceno where the vineyards are located. The winery's holdings extend between the hills that frame the valley of the Tronto River. The winery has been family-run since 1984 when the young Angela and Ercole decided to bring their activity to life, dedicating themselves to creating a product that could evoke an ancient flavor, but reinterpreted with an eye to the future.
The Passerina grapes of Velenosi's Brut Sparkling Wine promise an abundant production each year, so much so that they are nicknamed the golden grape. The vineyards are situated between 200 and 300 meters above sea level; the climate is of the sub-Apennine type with humid and cool winters tending to abundant snowfall even at low altitudes. Summers are temperate with constant sun exposure. The soil is sandy, ideal for the growth of vines like Passerina. The grape harvest is done manually and the bunches are laid in wide boxes. Initially, a brief cryo-maceration and a soft pressing are carried out, to then begin fermentation in steel; the base wine undergoes refermentation in autoclave with a sparkling process. The production cycle is never less than 90 days to allow for an appropriate resting period on the lees.
