Hailing from the historic hills of Veneto, Pasqua's 'Passione e Sentimento' Bianco is a poetic tribute to Verona, the legendary city of Romeo and Juliet. The wine's label itself captures the graffiti-covered walls of Juliet's courtyard, symbolizing eternal love. Crafted from the native Garganega grape, this expressive white wine utilizes a brief 'appassimento' process, where the grapes are partially dried before pressing to concentrate their natural sugars and aromas. This technique yields a luscious profile of stone fruits, citrus, and honey, balanced by a refreshing minerality from the volcanic and limestone soils of the region. A short period of oak aging adds complexity and a velvety texture to this modern Venetian classic.
