Tenuta Ulisse Passerina 2025

Tenuta Ulisse Passerina 2025 showcases one of central Italy’s most historic native white grapes, prized for its ability to retain bright acidity while building ripe, expressive fruit. Sourced from Abruzzo, this is a fresh, characterful wine that reflects both the grape’s ancient Adriatic heritage and Tenuta Ulisse’s modern winemaking style.

Tasting Notes
Typically pale straw in the glass with a luminous, youthful sheen, this Passerina leans toward crisp, clean freshness rather than weight. Expect aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, green apple, and subtle stone fruit, with a lively mineral edge that speaks to its coastal Italian origins. On the palate, it is usually bright and energetic, combining lemon, pear, and delicate herbal notes with a distinctly firm, mouthwatering acidity. That natural freshness gives the wine excellent balance and makes it especially appealing in its youth, though it is best enjoyed while its fruit and vibrancy are at their peak rather than for long aging.

Production
Passerina is a very old white grape variety native to central Italy, most likely originating along the Adriatic coast in Abruzzo and Marche. It belongs to the Trebbiano family and is known for its small berries and for retaining acidity even as sugar levels rise, which is one reason the wines often feel so fresh and vibrant. Tenuta Ulisse’s version comes from Abruzzo, where the region’s coastal influence and sunny conditions help the grape develop ripe fruit while preserving its lively structure.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. It pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, grilled white fish, light pasta dishes, risottos, fresh salads, and soft cheeses; decanting is not necessary.

Producer
Tenuta Ulisse is one of Abruzzo’s most recognized modern producers, known for combining local grape varieties with a polished, contemporary style. The winery has helped bring renewed attention to the region’s indigenous grapes by focusing on freshness, purity, and expressive fruit, earning a strong reputation among consumers seeking approachable yet distinctive Italian wines.
