✨ Technical Specifications
Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine, established in 1925 in Verona, Veneto, represents a historic family legacy deeply intertwined with the region's winemaking heritage. Their Veneto red wines are celebrated for showcasing local terroir through a blend of traditional Veronese varieties, primarily Corvina and Rondinella. A hallmark of their style is the integration of the ancient 'appassimento' method, where grapes are partially dried on bamboo racks before pressing, concentrating sugars, color, and velvety tannins. This technique yields a luscious, full-bodied profile rich with notes of dark cherry, plum, and sweet spice, echoing the romantic folklore of Verona.
🍾 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.
