Pasqua ‘Hey French – You Could Have Made This But You Didn’t’ Bianco, Veneto

Description

With a history dating back to 1925, Pasqua have never been ones to shy away from innovation. Their bold, characterful wines are loved by Majestic customers and colleagues alike – and that’s all because they aren’t afraid to do things differently. This wine is a case in point. It’s a blend of Garganega, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc from select vineyards on the Veronese side of Mount Calvarina. But what’s more, it features grapes from the five best vintages of the decade, 2016 to 2020. The grapes from each year are vinified separately before making it to the final blend. The result? An incredibly complex and age-worthy wine that tells the story of five different years through three different grape varieties. It’s no surprise it was awarded 92 points by James Suckling. Expect layered notes of chamomile, almonds, citrus, white pepper and tropical fruits. It has a distinct minerality due to the volcanic-origin soils that makes it an ideal pairing for creamy dishes or aged cheese.
