Passerina is a white Italian grape variety that is grown primarily in the Marche and Abruzzo regions of eastern Italy. It is also found in the Lazio and Umbria regions. The grape is known for its high yield and the crisp, light-bodied wine it produces, which is often used in blends.

History

The origins of the Passerina grape are not well documented, but it is believed to have been cultivated in Italy for centuries. The name "Passerina" comes from the Italian word "passero", meaning sparrow, possibly referring to the small size of the grape or the birds' fondness for the fruit.

Viticulture

Passerina is a high-yielding grape variety that thrives in the hilly terrain of Marche and Abruzzo. It is typically harvested in late September or early October. The grape has a natural resistance to many common vine diseases, making it a reliable choice for many Italian vineyards.

Wine production

Passerina wines are typically light-bodied with high acidity. They often have floral and citrus notes, with a slightly bitter finish. These wines are often used in blends, particularly with the Trebbiano and Pecorino grape varieties. Some producers also make a sweet passito style wine from dried Passerina grapes.

Food pairing

Due to its high acidity and light body, Passerina wine pairs well with a variety of foods. It is particularly well-suited to seafood dishes, white meats, and light pasta dishes.
