FERMENTATION Thanks to its rich aromatic properties and high acidity, Passerina is particularly apt to make sparkling wine using the Charmat method. Fermentation at controlled temperature gives a very fine wine, aged on the lees for about 90 days, commonly called Charmat Lungo (long process). The wine obtained is a sparkling wine with a fine and persistent perlage, creamy and silky, with heady and enthralling scents living up to the expectations which entices you to drink more.
