Intended for lovers of sweet wines and protected in small blue caskets that enhance their exclusive and precious character. The Passito is obtained from Traminer aromatico grapes from the vineyard surrounding the chapel at Fattoria del Colle. It is located 404 meters above sea level with soli made up of marine sands and Pliocene sandstones. The vines planted in 1970 are cultivated with great respect for the environment and, since 2018, have been certified organic.

The production of Passito stems Donatella’s husband, Carlo Gardini’s passion together with that of the oenologist Barbara Magnani. Both dedicate themselves with great passion to this very small production. The whole process is very artisanal: the harvest is manual and, every year, marks the beginning of the grape harvest. The bunches are placed in perforated boxes that contain 5 kg each. They remain to wither in the sun. Every day the order of the crates is reversed so that they all enjoy the same ventilation and the grapes dry out gradually. At night they are moved inside in order to preserve them from humidity. Donatella has fun recalling her husband’s expression when there is a slight rain drizzle and he runs to the cellar to put his precious grapes inside.
