Introduction
This red wine originates from Italy, specifically from the Valpolicella region in the province of Verona. The Pasqua family established the winery in 1925, starting as wine traders before the brothers began crafting their own labels. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025, the estate is one of Italy's largest family owned brands and maintains a philosophy of innovative research and international expansion.
Wine Description
Pasqua Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore displays an intense ruby red or deep garnet colour. The nose is assertive, featuring aromas of Morello cherry, blueberries, and redcurrants, complemented by secondary notes of mocha, licorice, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied and velvety, with rich flavours of plum, strawberry, and dark chocolate. It is characterized by its smooth balance, soft tannins, and persistent finish that reveals complex roasted hints. The typical varietal composition includes 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Corvinone, and 10% Negrara. This wine has an ABV of 13.5% and, in some specific vineyard selections like Cascina S. Vincenzo, the grapes are organically grown.
Food Pairing
The structured and savory profile of this Ripasso makes it an excellent companion for hearty meat dishes. It pairs perfectly with braised lamb, grilled ribeye steaks, or beef kebabs. Its fruit forward character also complements wild mushroom risotto, pasta with rich meat sauces or lasagna, and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano.
