Velenosi Offida Passerina 2025

Velenosi’s Villa Angela Offida Passerina is a still white wine that puts the character of Marche’s local Passerina grape centre stage. From the Offida area, it pairs a bright, mineral style with a story rooted in the region’s winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes
Bright yellow with golden reflections, it opens with chamomile and balsamic herbs, followed by notes of Golden apple and lime. The palate is lively and fresh, with a distinct saline minerality, balanced structure and a lingering mineral finish. Its fresh, aromatic profile is best enjoyed while youthful; the available information does not specify a longer ageing window.

Production
The Passerina grapes grow near Monteprandone on the slopes of the Tronto Valley, around 350 metres above sea level. The vineyards benefit from the Adriatic’s influence, while the moderately heavy, clay-tinged soils contribute to the wine’s saline character. Grapes are hand-harvested early in the morning, then destemmed and given a period of cryomaceration before gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by ageing on fine lees with weekly stirring to add texture and softness.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. Its freshness and mineral edge make it a natural match for seafood, shellfish, grilled fish and light vegetable dishes. Decanting is not necessary; open shortly before serving.

Producer
Velenosi was founded in Ascoli Piceno in 1984 and has built its work around expressing the character of Marche. Villa Angela is a tribute to the region’s native varieties, showcasing Passerina from the hills of the Tronto Valley in an Offida DOCG wine shaped by the area’s coastal influence.
