Founded in 1970 by Natalino Bartolomei and his wife Anna, the winery’s legacy is carried forward by sons Massimiliano and Walter. In the Piceno hills of Offida, the estate spans 130 hectares of organic vineyards. The collection of wines, ranging from indigenous Passerina and Pecorino grapes to renowned varieties like Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Merlot, and Chardonnay, artfully capture the essence of the Marche region.
The vineyards flourish, benefiting from the protection of the Apennines to the west and the gentle Adriatic sea breezes from the east, guarding against disease. Building upon the passion and expertise passed down from Natalino, Massimiliano and Walter masterfully blend time-honoured practices with cutting-edge techniques.
Hailing from 30-year-old vines, this wine is cultivated using a traditional pergola system, mainly on alluvial and mid-weight clay soils. Hand-harvested at around 120 hl/ha, it undergoes soft pressing and long fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The result is an easy-going palate with aromas of wisteria and tropical fruit, complemented by green melon, ripe pear, and bitter almond notes. Tangy acidity keeps it bright, while the minerality adds character.
It is produced from pure Passerina grapes, a very ancient and autochthon vine from Marche. An elegant and well-balanced wine with a straw yellow colour and light, golden shades. A pleasant fruity and white flower’s scent, a good taste to the palate, with a wide range of perceptions and final aromatic tasting persistence.
