Grape Variety: 60% Trebbiano, 20% Passerina, 20% Pecorino - Trebbiano offers a crisp, citrusy profile; Passerina adds aromatic complexity with floral notes; Pecorino contributes structure and a hint of minerality.

Grape Insights: Trebbiano (Ugni Blanc) is prized for high acidity, delivering lemon, green apple, and a subtle almond note that drives freshness. Passerina, an indigenous Marche/Abruzzo grape, brings white blossom, citrus peel, and a gentle saline lift. Pecorino, a low-yielding variety from the Apennines, adds body and texture with pear, fennel/herbal hints, and a distinct stony minerality.
