Our Passerina Colle Trà comes from an ancient “spargolo” cluster clone, the so-called “trebbiano scienciato”. Compared to the compactness of the traditional grape, the spargolo has a more elongated shape and is less subject to rot that can occur with humidity. The passerina must undergoes a spontaneous fermentation process, triggered only by indigenous yeasts, the same for all the wines of the Colle Trà line.
