- This grape displays significant intravarietal variability. Passerina from Abruzzo is distinguished by its more intensely colored yellow grapes, often speckled, compared to those from Lazio and Marche.
- The wines made from Passerina can be still, dry, sparkling, or even sweet, achieved through late harvesting or air-drying techniques.

Dry and still wines wines often feature bright, fresh aromas of citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, complemented by notes of yellow apple, pear, and subtle floral hints. On the palate, they are typically crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that makes them particularly food-friendly.
Passerina sparkling wines, whether made in the traditional or Charmat method, present fine bubbles and a zesty freshness. Expect flavors of green apple, citrus, and sometimes a hint of brioche or almond.
When made in a sweet style, through late harvesting or air-drying, Passerina wines develop richer flavors of dried apricot, honey, and tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. These wines can also exhibit a luscious texture and balanced sweetness.
