✨ Technical Specifications
Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine, established in Verona in 1925, has spent nearly a century championing Italian viticulture, eventually expanding its expertise to the sun-drenched terroir of Puglia. The Collezioni Chardonnay is a testament to this southern expansion, showcasing how the international Chardonnay grape thrives under the intense Puglian sun. Nurtured by warm Mediterranean breezes and maritime soils, the grapes develop rich tropical fruit flavors. To preserve its vibrant, fresh character, the wine is fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak influence to deliver a clean, fruit-forward, and highly approachable white wine that speaks of southern Italian warmth.
🍾 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.
