Description
What kind of wine it is
Villa Angela Offida Passerina is a still white wine that expresses the essence of Passerina grapes in the Offida region. Produced by Velenosi, it stands out for its bright yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet opens with notes of chamomile and balsamic herbs, then evolves towards hints of Golden apple and citrus fragrances of lime. On the palate, it reveals a vibrant freshness accompanied by a pronounced savouriness, offering a well-structured taste that finishes with a persistent mineral finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Marche region, specifically in the area of Monteprandone and along the slopes of the Tronto river valley. The vineyards grow at around three hundred and fifty metres above sea level, benefiting from the constant influence of the Adriatic Sea. The Passerina vines sink their roots into medium-textured soils with a clay tendency, a geological composition perfect for giving the sip a distinct savoury character and a faithful representation of the Ascoli territory.
How it is produced
Production begins with a manual harvest carried out in the early hours of the morning to preserve the integrity of the bunches. After destemming, the grapes undergo cryomaceration, followed by gentle pressing to extract only the free-run must. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, keeping the fragrance of the varietal aromas intact. The process ends with ageing on fine lees enriched by weekly stirring, a fundamental practice to give the wine greater body and smoothness.
History and Curiosities
Born from the passion of the Velenosi winery, founded in Ascoli Piceno in 1984, Villa Angela celebrates the authentic soul of the Marche region. This elegant Offida Passerina DOCG expresses a native grape variety with unique charm, cultivated on the hills of the Tronto Valley at an altitude of 350 metres. Influenced by the nearby Adriatic Sea, the vines produce excellent grapes, enhanced by gentle pressing that allows only the free-run must to be extracted. A bright still white wine that masterfully blends territorial identity with vibrant mineral freshness.

The company's farms extend across the hills that surround the splendid valley of the Tronto river, which, thanks to its clayey and fertile soils, has always been suited to the cultivation of vines.
