Clèlia - Passerina Spumante Brut

Sparkling

The third generation of the family wanted to experiment with sparkling wines. The first grape variety to be considered was Passerina using the Charmat method. A sparkle that gave freshness, vivacity, suitable both as an aperitif or to accompany any meal. So in 2005 the first tests and then the first vintage released in 2007. Since then, more and more quality.
