✨ Technical Specifications
Pasqua, established in 1925 by the Pasqua brothers in Verona, has spent nearly a century crafting wines that bridge Venetian tradition with modern appeal. This Chardonnay hails from the Trevenezie IGT, a name paying homage to the historical 'Tre Venezie' region—Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia—which once thrived under the maritime influence and trade routes of the Venetian Republic. Grown in soils shaped by ancient glacial activity and cooled by alpine breezes, the Chardonnay grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve their vibrant, natural fruit character. The resulting wine avoids heavy oak influence, instead showcasing a bright, clean profile defined by crisp golden apple, citrus zest, and delicate floral undertones, embodying the fresh and elegant style of northeastern Italian whites.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Verona in 1925 by the Pasqua brothers, Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine has evolved across three generations into one of the Veneto's most daring and innovative producers, epitomized by its self-styled 'House of the Unconventional' philosophy. Anchored in Valpantena and eastern Valpolicella, the estate's primary vineyards—including parcels around Mizzole and the Cecilia Beretta research property—span clay, limestone, and volcanic basalt soils at altitudes of 200 to 350 meters, cooled by Alpine breezes from the Monti Lessini. Viticulture blends certified Equalitas sustainability with targeted certified organic vineyard management. Winemaking marries classical Venetian techniques with bold experimentation, balancing traditional appassimento regimens with contemporary multi-vintage blending. Benchmark releases include the flagship Amarone della Valpolicella Mai Dire Mai, the multi-vintage Bianco Veneto Hey French, 11 Minutes Rosé, and the Passione e Sentimento range, alongside expressive single-varietal expressions of Garganega, Corvina, and international cultivars.
