Pasqua Passimento Romeo and Juliet Rosso is a red wine made in the "appassimento" style, akin to Amarone. This involves partially drying the harvested grapes to concentrate flavors, enhance richness, and intensify the wine's characteristics.
The wine is a blend of 40% Merlot, 30% Corvina, and 30% Croatina. Each variety is dried and vinified separately before being blended to create the final product.
This wine has a deep ruby color with an intense and persistent nose of red fruits like cherries, accompanied by hints of spices and a touch of leather. On the palate, it's balanced, soft, and round, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish.
Grapes are hand-picked, carefully dried for a month in wooden crates in a controlled environment, losing about 30% of their water content. This process concentrates the natural sugars and intensifies the flavors. After individual fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for three months in oak tonneau barrels before blending.
Pasqua Passimento Romeo and Juliet Rosso pairs beautifully with red meats, game, aged cheeses, and hearty dishes like stews or pasta with rich sauces. Its balanced and robust flavors also complement lamb and swordfish.
The wine is inspired by the legendary Romeo and Juliet love story, with its label featuring an image of Juliet's courtyard in Verona. The appassimento process and its heritage connection to Verona make it both a romantic and distinctive wine choice.
This wine is best served at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-65°F) to fully enjoy its aroma and flavor profile.
Store the wine in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature. Laying the bottle horizontally ensures the cork stays moist and prevents oxidation over time.
While the wine is ready to drink upon release, its robust structure and velvety tannins allow for moderate aging, which can further enhance its flavors within a few years.
Pasqua Passimento Romeo and Juliet Rosso is versatile enough for romantic dinners, celebrations, or as a thoughtful gift, particularly for wine lovers and fans of Romeo and Juliet's story.
