'Passolento' Verdicchio DOCG | La Marca di S. Michele

'Passolento' Verdicchio DOCG | La Marca di S. Michele

€21.00

Dense and savoury on the nose, it nonetheless carries the estate’s trademark bright aromatics and precise minerality. Richly textured and yet refined, with hints of pine nut and chamomile, Passolento is serious stuff and it shows how classy Verdicchio can be in the right hands.

  • In the historical heartland of Verdicchio production, named after the fortified medieval towns clustered near the hills, Daniela cultivates 6 hectares of organic and biodynamic vineyards.

    She follows a philosophy of biodiversity and respect for the Terroir: no herbicides, no glyphosate, no pesticides, no fertilizers are used.

    The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small boxes with care and respect in order to avoid any dangerous mushing.

  • One vineyard, one wine. We work on our cru. All the labour in the vineyard is performed manually from the Guyot pruning to the removal of the branches, from the binding to the green pruning. The mowing is mechanical.

    As a fertilizer, we use mixed green manure of legume crops such as fava beans, peas, sainfoin, clover, lupins, rye-grass, vetches, and alfalfa. We follow the guidelines of biodynamic agriculture using preparations such as cow horn manure and cow horn silica.

    We use rainwater gathered from our roofs and we produce our own electricity by means of photovoltaic panels. The moon phases are strictly followed for every vineyard and winery.
