2022 Pasqua Romeo & Juliet Passione e Sentimento White, Veneto

From the historic city of Verona in Veneto comes a white blend inspired by romance and regional tradition. Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine was founded in 1925 and remains family owned, now led by the third generation. Based in the heart of Valpolicella, Pasqua has built a reputation for combining heritage with modern creativity, and the Romeo and Juliet Passione e Sentimento range reflects that contemporary expression of classic Veronese varieties. Sourced from vineyards influenced by Lake Garda and the surrounding hills, the wine benefits from a temperate climate that allows balanced ripening while preserving freshness.

Pale straw with bright golden highlights, the aromatics are inviting and expressive. Ripe pear, white peach and tropical hints of pineapple lift from the glass, layered with citrus blossom and a touch of honeyed nuance. There is a gentle floral character that adds charm and approachability.

On the palate it is medium bodied and smooth, with generous orchard fruit balanced by fresh acidity. Stone fruit and citrus glide across a soft, rounded texture, leading to a clean and lightly aromatic finish. The style is approachable and fruit driven, designed for immediate enjoyment rather than long ageing.

Pair with seafood pasta, grilled chicken, antipasto, light risotto or soft cheeses. Best enjoyed young over the next two to four years to capture its freshness and aromatic appeal.
