You'll Want These 3 Head Turners
From the Veneto
Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine is an historic winery which produces high quality wines from the Veneto in Northern Italy. While they are mostly known for making a stunning Amarone, they also produce a great little red and white wine with exceptional pricing for their remarkable quality
Pasqua Passimento Rosso 2016 (Veneto, Italy)
 This delicious red wine has an intense and lingering nose, with striking notes of red fruits and spicy overtones. It's balanced, round, plush and velvety.
Hello, yes, grab one now!
"Alluring aromas of dark berries, flowers and stones follow through to a medium body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Just a hint of toffee and chocolate." (James Suckling)

$15.99/bottle or just $12.79/bottle in a solid or mixed case of wine.
Pasqua Passimento Bianco 2016 (Veneto, Italy)
 This tasty white wine is made from the grape Garganega, which is the mainstay of the Soave appellation.
"Grown in the Valpolicella area, these Garganega grapes are partially dried, losing 20 to 30% of their weight, before fermentation. The result is a very unique wine full of dried apricot and honey flavours, with a creamy and rich mouthfeel but balanced by the bright acidity. This is crying out for food." (Decanter Magazine)
Your next roasted chicken will thank you.

Pasqua Amarone Della Valpolicella 2013 (DOCG) 
Pasqua Amarone 2013 received the most coveted wine award in all of Italy -- 3 bicchieri!!!!!
This is big deal and given the price of this wine it makes our head spin. This is not even remotely an old school Amarone which neither of us enjoy. Instead of being reductive with stewed components and ready to drink in about 1,000 years, this gorgeous stunner is bright, beautiful and drinking great right this very minute.
"This is a smokey and savory expression from Valpolicella in Northeast Italy. The 2013 Amarone della Valpolicella Famiglia Pasqua is a very attractive wine that offers ample power and intensity along the way. This is a big-boned effort with thick layers of dark fruit, prune, raisin and blackberry preserves that peel back with slow layering. Exotic spice and moist chewing tobacco appear on the close." (Wine Advocate)

"Ripe dark-skinned berry, cedar and vanilla lead the nose. The savory, full-bodied palate offers blackberry jam, tobacco and star anise alongside firm, fine-grained tannins." (Wine Enthusiast)

Blackberry jam and star anise, yes, yes, yes!!!
$49.99/bottle or just $39.99/bottle in a solid or mixed case of wine. That price alone for an Amarone would be unusual, but one with a 3 bicchieri award, come on now.
Someone you know deserves a present and we don't mind at all if that is you.
