✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Veneto region, Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine has been crafting expressive Italian wines since 1925. 'Y by 11 Minutes' represents a bold, premium evolution of their signature rosé concept. The name '11 Minutes' pays homage to the precise duration of skin contact during pressing, calculated to extract the most delicate salmon-pink hue and elegant aromatics without bitter tannins. For the 'Y' cuvée, Pasqua blends Corvina, Trebbiano di Lugana, and Carmenère sourced from vineyards near Lake Garda. Unlike typical fresh rosés, 'Y' undergoes partial fermentation and aging in French oak barriques for several months. This innovative oak treatment imparts a rich, creamy texture, subtle vanilla undertones, and a complex structure that beautifully balances the vibrant acidity of the Corvina and the floral elegance of the Trebbiano.
