Presented here is a fine Offida DOCG Passerina, Cantina Velenosi's Villa Angela. It is made from grapes from the winery's charming vineyard in Monteprandone, in the Marche region, at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level. Here, the medium-textured, clayey soil lends character and structure to the wines. The indigenous Passerina grape is harvested strictly by hand in the early hours of the morning to preserve the freshness and complexity of the grapes. After destemming, the grapes undergo cryo-maceration at 0°C for about 8/10 hours, followed by soft crushing. Only the flower must, the best, is selected for vinification. The latter takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, thus preserving the freshness and elegance of the aromas. This is followed by a long period of maturation on the fine lees, which lasts until the end of February. During this period, the lees are stirred weekly, giving the wine a rich and complex structure. In the glass, it reveals a luminous yellow colour with golden hues. On the nose, floral notes of chamomile and balsamic herbs, accompanied by a fruitiness of crisp pome fruit, especially golden apple, and a citric touch of lime. The fresh and savoury taste, with good structure, is underlined by a long and persistent mineral finish that immediately invites one to take another sip.
It all began at the hands of two very young entrepreneurs, Angela and Ercole Velenosi. The year was 1984. The company's head quarter is located in Ascoli Piceno, in the heart of the Marche region, about 20 kilometres from the Adriatic coast, at an altitude of about 200 metres above sea level. The company's estates are located in the hills, where clayey and fertile soils have always been considered ideal for growing grapes. There are four separate estates located in Ascoli Piceno, Castorano, Monsampolo del Tronto and Castel di Lama, plus a vineyard in the area of Ancarano, in the province of Teramo, and one in the area of San Marcello, in the province of Ancona, in the Castelli di Jesi. Velenosi wines are often awarded by the most severe national and international critics and are distributed in more than 52 countries worldwide. Today, total production is around 2.5 million bottles a year. But, as the company says, the projects in the pipeline are not yet finished.
