2019 Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, Veneto

Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG from Veneto is a bold, opulent red made in the traditional appassimento style. This method involves partially drying the grapes to concentrate sugars, flavours and aromas before fermentation. The result is a richly textured wine with deep complexity and power.

Pasqua, a respected family-run producer based in Verona since 1925, is known for crafting Amarone that combines modern elegance with the wine's classic identity. This Amarone is typically made from Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes, grown on hillside vineyards where the limestone and clay soils contribute finesse and structure.

Expect layers of dark plum, dried cherry, mocha, and sweet spice, with a hint of leather and balsamic lift. The palate is full-bodied, plush and velvety with mature tannins and a long, warming finish.

A wine for serious occasions and hearty fare, it pairs beautifully with braised meats, aged cheeses, or slow-cooked beef ragù. With its richness and balance, it also rewards cellaring over a decade or more.
