Valpolicella Superiore Pasqua 2008
The 2008 Valpolicella Superiore from the producer Pasqua is a red wine originating from the Veneto region in northeastern Italy. Stretching from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea, Veneto is one of the country's most productive wine regions and is home to several world-renowned appellations. The wine comes specifically from Valpolicella, a classic wine-producing area located north of Verona. This area forms the foundation for several distinct wine styles, ranging from everyday wines to highly concentrated expressions, and holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata Superiore classification.
This wine is crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone, and Negrara grapes. Corvina is the central grape variety in Valpolicella and is widely cultivated throughout the Veneto region. It is frequently blended with Rondinella, another traditional Venetian grape that plays a key role in the production of both standard Valpolicella and Amarone.
The production of this 2008 vintage utilizes the traditional Ripasso method. This technique involves a secondary fermentation of the wine over the dried grape skins that were previously used in the creation of Amarone. Following this process, the wine is aged in oak barrels before undergoing a final period of refinement in the bottle.
