Its structure is defined by the renowned refermentation on Amarone pomace, a process that enhances its body and complexity. In the glass, it appears full and well-constructed, supported by round and velvety tannins that provide an enveloping sip. The balance between ripe fruit notes and toasted hints leads to a long and persistent finish, ideal for pairing with grilled meats and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Valpantena, located in the eastern part of Valpolicella. This area, historically known as the valley of cherries, offers ideal conditions for the ripening of native grape varieties. This geographical origin gives the wine a clear territorial character, expressed through notes of ripe red fruit and an elegant, composed tannic structure, faithfully reflecting the authentic oenological character of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter crushing and destemming, the must undergoes maceration on the skins for about fifteen days at a controlled temperature. The base wine matures in steel until February, when the Ripasso technique is initiated. This second fermentation on Amarone pomace significantly enriches its body and aromatic intensity. This is followed by eight months of maturation in barrels and barriques, before the final blending and further bottle ageing for several months.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1925, the Famiglia Pasqua winery enhances the prized grapes of Valpantena, historically known as the “valley of cherries”.
