  • Score: 88 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Passerina del Frusinate is delicate and nuanced, with only green citrus and melon hints forming its bouquet. It’s savory, nearly salty on the palate, with lime-tinged acidity adding further tension. The 2021 finishes with medium length, leaving a twang of sour green citrus. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 89 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media A smoky display of yellow flowers and ginger-tinged apples lifts up from the 2019 Passerina. This is soft, fleshy and pleasantly sweet, with balancing acidity and a mineral-tinged display of ripe orchard fruits and hints of spice. Nuances of raw almond and pear linger long as this tapers off with a sizzle of residual tension. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 88 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator Pretty floral and herb notes on the nose of this fresh, light- to medium-bodied white accent the mouthwatering palate's flavors of blood orange and pear fruit. Drink now. 1,600 cases made, 100 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
