L’Avventura Contelollo Passerina del Frusinate 2021
Contelollo Passerina del Frusinate by l’Avventura is a beautifully complex and aromatic white wine! The combination of yellow fruit, aromatic plants, and resin suggests depth, while the apple brandy note hints at some oxidative or aged character. The balance of smoothness, fleshiness, and elegance makes it sound both rich and refined.
Due to its structure can even accompany meat and aged cheeses.
How is the wine made?
Fermentation on indigenous yeasts. Ageing for 4 months in stainless steel and for 2 months in the bottle
About the winery
L’Avventura, a family-run company, born in 2015 from the passion of Gabriella and Stefano and from the idea of producing 1000 bottles to give to friends. Today the company has come to produce around 50,000 bottles. The logo embodies the fundamental values of the company: The tree, symbol of life and vitality, the tractor representing hard work and the first step of an important evolution for the agricultural world. Grapes because L’Avventura was born to make wine. Two hands that join as a symbol of solidarity, of creation, of something that belongs to the human being. The company has around 12 hectares of land.
The vineyards range from 250 meters above the sea level to 400. The operations in the vineyard are manual. Organic Regenerative Agriculture is practiced and L’avventura also has a certification for organic wines.
Two native vines are cultivated here: Cesanese (d’Affile and Comune) Passerina del Frusinate (the typical Ciociaria white wine). The Cesanese del Piglio DOCG denomination, to which the winery belongs, is located in southern Lazio, in the province of Frosinone, and extends to the borders of Rome. The vineyards have a prevalent exposure to the south and west and the strong daily temperature variations help the development of the aromas. The territory of volcanic origin has very different compositions (with a strong clay component) and their properties define sub-areas capable of influencing the characteristics of the grapes of the wines produced.
