| The old farm, Vagnoni Molina, is a small
viniculture of Piceno located in southern Marche, near
the town of Offida, very close to the
border of Abruzzo. The
most common grape varieties grown in Piceno are Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Merlot, Passerina and Pecorino. This Passerina is the finest example we have tasted of this grape variety, a grape we were uninterested in until being unanimously won over by the inherent quality of this wine. Tasting Notes: It has a delicate, flowery nose, redolent of honey and yellow fruit, with lemony overtones, and a hint of mineral on the finish, perhaps from the clay soils of the vineyard. |
