Product notes
The Cascina San Vincenzo project represents a new step by Pasqua winery towards sustainable cultivation and production processes for the two principal wines of the Valpolicella tradition: Amarone and Valpolicella. The regal elegance of these wines is the most characteristic expression of the vineyard, its cultivation and the winemaking style. It is nature in continual evolution.
Production notes
After pressing and destemming, fermentation and maceration follows for 15 days with remontages at a controlled temperature of 20-24°C. Placed in steel tanks until February, the wine is then left on the skins of the Amarone where it ferments again according to traditional “Ripasso method”. This enhances the structure and lends notes of Morello cherry and red fruits. After decanting, the wine is transferred to barriques and tonneaux of various capacities where it remains for 9 months before assembling and bottled where it matures for another 2-3 months.
Tasting notes
Ruby red colour with garnet highlights. On the nose it displays red fruits with light balsamic and herbaceous notes. On the palate it is well balanced with notes of red fruits and strawberries. The light toasting of the wood gives the wine softness, floral and vanilla notes.
