“Kriya” Passerina from Vignamadre is a lively and expressive white wine made from the native Passerina grape, a variety deeply rooted in the Adriatic regions of central Italy. The vineyards lie in Abruzzo, where the combination of warm sunshine, cooling sea breezes from the Adriatic and the nearby Apennine Mountains creates ideal conditions for producing fresh, aromatic wines. Passerina thrives in this environment, developing vibrant fruit flavours while maintaining the crisp acidity that gives the wine its refreshing character.

Pale straw in colour, the wine opens with bright aromas of citrus, green apple and white peach, complemented by delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it is crisp and well-balanced, with flavours of lemon zest and orchard fruits supported by a lively acidity and a clean, mineral finish. Fresh and versatile, “Kriya” Passerina is an excellent aperitif and pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, light pasta dishes and fresh salads.
