Passomadama wines are born from the idea of the new generation of the Barba family. The family, with traces back to the fifteenth century, has been active for decades in the field of agriculture with one main goal: to enhance their best vineyards and make the most out of them. Barba is situated in an area with a profound agricultural position, an undulating landscape with with large bumps of almost flat and rounded sides, often interrupted by steep slopes favored by a mild and bright climate. Here, the summer offers long sunny days alternated with cool nights, whereas winter is mitigated by the influence of the nearby Adriatic Sea.
