Passerina grape variety Passerina is a native white grape variety of central Italy. Nowadays it is common mostly between Marche and Abruzzo, but its exact origin is disputed between Marche and the province of Frosinone. The origin of this name is rather curious. In fact, it seems that Passerina comes from the Italian name of the sparrows (passeri) which are greedy for its small grapes. It is also known under different synonyms, which has contributed to the uncertainty about its origin. Numerous researchers have studied its identity and to date its historical origins remain uncertain.

When we refer to Brut sparkling wine, we are talking about a dry sparkling wine with a sugar residue lower than 12 g/l. The word Brut comes from the French and means “pure, raw”. You can find this indication on the labels of sparkling wines and it is used to define a dry and not sweet sparkling wine. Sparkling wines are divided into 3 macro categories according to the sugar residue: dry, soft and sweet sparkling wines In addition to this, there is another classification into seven different types: Pas Dosé or Brut Nature: with sugar content less than 3 g/l; Extra-brut: with sugar content ranging between 0 and 6 g/l; Brut: with sugar content less than 12 g/l; Extra-dry: with sugar content ranging between 12 and 17 g/l; Dry or sec-dry-medium sweet: with sugar content ranging between 17 and 32 g/l; Demi-sec or medium dry: with sugar content ranging between 32 and 50 g/l; Sweet: with sugar content exceeding 50 g/l.

ROCCA DEI FORTI conveys a significant set of values in every bottle of its sparkling wines, in each and every bubble made with dedication and passion since 1954. Highly appreciated by consumers, it is one of the most popular brands in its category in the Italian large-scale retail channel (GDO), where it has been a market leader for many years. Today, the Togni company wishes to emphasize and further enhance this rich legacy through an accurate brand restyling, which will encompass its long history to modernize its appearance, keeping up with future –oriented trends. The logo first: it has been completely redesigned, while at the same time maintaining and enhancing the brand’s typical elements. The lion, sleeker yet bolder in its new red color, is shown with its front paw in motion, symbolizing the dynamism that preserves tradition while still being in- step, or rather, ahead of the times. The new, daring yet clean lettering includes the year 1954, the business starting date, as well as ‘Cantine Togni’, a name that has meant ‘know-how’ for almost 70 years, up to today’s third generation management.
