2015 Pasqua Romeo & Juliet Passione e Sentimento Rosso, Veneto, Italy

Passione Sentimento is dedicated to the city of love par excellence, Verona. The label tells the most famous love story in the world, Romeo and Juliet, that lives today through the messages left everyday by the visitors of Juliet’s house in Cappello Street in Verona.

 The marriage of tradition and modern winemaking is most evident in PassioneSentimento Rosso. Corvina, Croatina and Merlot are handpicked, and a portion of the Corvina and Merlot are then set in small crates in the ‘Fruttaio’ till the grapes lose 30% of their water content. The resulting extract exhibits a higher concentration of sugars, richer fruit characteristics, stronger natural aromas, and elements of the terroir. 

 The resultant wine is deep ruby red in colour. The nose has intense aromas of red berries with hints of spices. The palate is balanced with velvety tannins, and it has a soft and round finish. Great with red meat and game or with aged cheese.
