Wine from Pasqua

The Pasqua Estate
Fratelli Pasqua is a family owned winery begun in 1925. The new generation of Verona-born brothers has clearly and firmly embraced the path of quality production with an emphasis on promoting and improving the local wines of their region. They are ranked in the top 5 privately-owned wineries and operate without outside finance or support from other ventures.
A reduction of yield per hectare is strictly enforced giving quality the precedence over quantity which would also seem to be a contradiction for a volume oriented winery. Quantity is achieved through other and more wise means. The brothers are constantly searching for and acquiring vineyards in the classic Veronese area. They now own 100 ha (247 acres) of vineyards. They have widened their grape supply base through 60 ha (148 acres) of contract growers to which they supply full technical support and maintain an on-going supervision of all viticultural aspects. These grapes are vinified separately and given the names of the vineyards from which they come.
