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.
