A Heritage Rooted in Passion
Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine, founded in 1925, is a family-owned winery based in Verona with deep roots in Italian winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep ruby red in the glass, with purple reflections that hint at its youthful vibrancy and generous fruit character.
Aroma: Enticing and expressive, the nose reveals layers of ripe blackberries, plums, and red cherries. Subtle hints of vanilla, cocoa, and a whisper of sweet spice add depth to the bouquet.
Palate: Full-bodied yet approachable, this Primitivo delivers mouthfuls of dark fruit, accented by soft notes of chocolate and a gentle hint of black pepper. Silky tannins and balanced acidity keep the palate fresh and round, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
Finish: Long and warming, with echoes of dark berries and a touch of soft spice that invite another sip.
Winemaking Craft
Pasqua Primitivo Puglia is made using carefully selected Primitivo grapes harvested at optimal ripeness. After fermentation at controlled temperatures to preserve fruit purity and aromatics, part of the wine is aged in oak barrels. This step enhances the wine’s structure and adds subtle layers of vanilla and spice without overpowering the vibrant fruit flavors.
This approach preserves the varietal’s natural boldness while rounding out its edges, resulting in a well-balanced wine that is both expressive and smooth.
Perfect Pairings
A versatile food wine, Pasqua Primitivo Puglia pairs wonderfully with hearty, flavorful dishes. Consider these pairings to bring out the best in each glass:
-
Grilled and roasted meats: Perfect alongside steaks, pork tenderloin, or lamb chops.
-
Rich pasta dishes: Try it with pasta Bolognese, lasagna, or baked ziti.
-
Cheeses: Complements hard and aged cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
-
Rustic pizzas: A match made in heaven with wood-fired pizzas topped with sausage, mushrooms, or cured meats.
This Primitivo shines at dinner parties but is equally satisfying as a relaxing pour after a long day.
