The palate reflects the nose: intense, full-bodied, structured, and warm, with a persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmarone della Valpolicella DOCG is produced using the traditional \u003cem\u003eAppassimento\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003epassification\u003c\/em\u003e method, during which the grapes are partially dehydrated before pressing.

During this period, the bunches lose approximately 25% to 30% of their weight, and the substances present in the grapes concentrate. After pressing, alcoholic fermentation begins in steel tanks, lasting about 25 to 30 days at a controlled temperature. Continuous pump-overs are performed to favor the extraction of color and tannins. At the end of this process, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation takes place, giving it softness. After a maturation period of about 18 to 20 months, the wine is bottled and remains to age for another four months. It is a wine that continues to evolve in the bottle, with great aging potential. An \u003cem\u003eAmarone\u003c\/em\u003e can age in the bottle for at least 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e should be served between 16°C and 18°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and distinctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"product-ratings product-attr\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eWine Hunter: gold medal (2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eDoctor Wine: 95 points (2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eDecanter Wines of the Year: 97 points (2017), 93 points (2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eISWC: 93 points (2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eWine Enthusiast: 93 points (2018), 92 points (2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eJames Suckling: 92 points (2017 and 2018), 91 points (2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eVeronelli: 3 stars (2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eLuca Maroni: 92 points (2016 and 2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eFalstaff Amarone Trophy: 91 points (2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eWine Advocate: 91 points (2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eRobert Parker: 92 points (2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"product-rating product-rating-luca-gardini\"\u003eCritics Challenge: 92 points (2016)\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantina Pasqua\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile vision and innovation are clearly driving Pasqua towards the future, the family has never strayed from its solid roots: Valpolicella.
