Doppio Passo

The brand's origins are rooted in the Primitivo grape variety from Apulia, in southern Italy, which gave rise to its first wine, a red. The production process involves harvesting Primitivo grapes and fermenting them on the skins at two separate points during the harvest, a method distinct from traditional Italian techniques such as Appassimento or Ripasso. The range has broadened over time to include rosé wines, white wines and Prosecco.

The alcohol-free wines are dealcoholised, meaning produced at full strength before the alcohol is removed. The name Doppio Passo translates loosely as "double pass", though a clear link to football terminology cannot be established.

Doppio Passo holds the position of the number one Italian wine brand in Europe and is available in more than 50 countries worldwide. The brand positions itself around everyday enjoyment, described in its own terms as "Italy is a way of life". In September 2020 a joint venture was formed between Argea SPA Group and Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien GmbH. The wines contain sulphites.
