2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the historic Pasqua Winery, located in Verona, in northeastern Italy.
Innovation is at the core of their philosophy, as well as focusing on sustainable practices with an eye on the future. In 2024, they received the Innovator of the Year award for 2023 by Wine Enthusiast magazine. They are widely recognized as an Ambassador for Veneto wines. They are known for their various expressions of Amarone and labels representative of the winery, located on the east side of Lake Garda, up to the Soave region. They are also strong supporters of the arts in different disciplines.
Seductive aromas of blackberries, plums, black currants, and leather draw you into a world of grapes nurtured and loved, carefully selected, aged for a precise time, and turned into something so delightful, it’s almost criminal.
The palate reflects the enticing aromas, complemented by layers of turned earth, sweet tobacco, dark cherries, vanilla, oak, and dried herbs—a complex proposition indeed, but one that needs to be experienced to be fully understood and appreciated. Impressive depth and complexity, coupled with elegance and
finesse, combined with fine-grained tannins and a velvety smooth mouthfeel, create a crescendo of flavors and experiences that you will want to repeat again and again.
Food pairings should include Barbecue Ribs, Smoked Brisket, Roasted Pork Loin, Lamb Shank, Braised Beef, Steak from the grill, and for those that don’t eat meat- A rich risotto made with wild mushrooms or truffles.
This will cellar out to 2035 without a problem, and I suspect longer.
