đ· A memorable afternoon with at the beautiful Azzurra Restaurant on Sloane Street, where Global Drinks Intel was invited to experience an exceptional wine-pairing lunch showcasing the creativity, innovation and craftsmanship that have made Pasqua one of Italyâs most exciting wine producers.
The menu was expertly matched with a stunning selection of wines, including:
âš Y by 11 Minutes RosĂ© Trevenezie IGT â an elegant and gastronomic rosĂ© offering freshness, structure and delicate notes of red fruit, citrus and subtle oak.
âš Hey French, You Could Have Made This But You Didnât â Edizione V â Pasquaâs acclaimed multi-vintage white wine, combining freshness, volcanic minerality and remarkable complexity.
âš Mizzole Valpolicella Superiore DOC â a vibrant and refined expression of Valpolicella, layered with blueberry, currant and spice.
âš Pasqua + Smith Pinot Noir Edizione I â an innovative collaboration with Washington State winemaker Charles Smith, bringing together Old and New World winemaking philosophies.
The lunch concluded in unforgettable style with a chilled glass of Sangue dâOro Passito di Pantelleria DOC 2022, the remarkable collaboration between Pasqua and French actress Carole Bouquet. Served as a dessert wine aperitivo, it beautifully demonstrated the versatility of sweet wines beyond the traditional end-of-meal serve, revealing layers of dried apricot, fig and almond alongside extraordinary freshness.
A wonderful celebration of Pasquaâs âHouse of the Unconventionalâ philosophy and a reminder that great wine is at its best when shared around the table.
