Pasqua 11 Minutes Rose 2020

Cellar for up to 4 years. Serve chilled.

This delicate Italian rosé is named after the very brief 11 minutes that the grape skins spend in contact with the juice. The short maceration helps extract the gorgeous pale pink hue as well as enticing aromas and floral hints. The juice is then cooled and fermented in stainless steel tanks to lock in plenty of freshness and pure varietal character. It’s left to age on the lees for 3-4 months and then bottled in early spring.

Crafted from the local Corvina and Trebbiano grapes along with Syrah and Carmenere, this is an elegant and balanced rosé that’s ideal for enjoying as an aperitif or pairing with leafy summer salads, fresh seafood, sushi and grilled fish. On the nose there are attractive notes of citrus, cherry, and ripe berries while the palate offers plenty of ripe red fruit and a pure, clean finish.

The creators of this rosé are the Pasqua family who have been involved in the Italian wine trade for three generations. The winery was first founded in 1925 in Verona, and since then the family have dedicated themselves to creating delicious and great value wines from both local and international grape varieties.
