2020 Famiglia Pasqua Prosecco Rose Additional Dry DOC – The one miss on this assortment, and it’s a minor one. A relatively doughy, vague wine, the calmly floral and strawberry-doused expression lands on the palate with a very candy character, a sugary high quality that lingers properly into the end — earlier than in the end taking a considerably inexperienced, bitter flip. Rose Prosecco is commonly a troublesome proposition; this one by no means finds steadiness.

2020 Famiglia Pasqua 11 Minutes Rose – The latest version to the Pasqua assortment is a rose blended from Corvina (50%), Trebbiano (25%), Syrah (15%), and Carménère (10%). Closely floral and constructed round a core of citrus, the acid-forward wine is imminently drinkable, fading to a delicate peach character because the end builds. Earlier than you could have an opportunity to consider it, your glass is empty, the fruit and acidity creating a pleasant sense of steadiness. Rose is commonly a take-it-or-leave-it state of affairs, however this brilliant delight affords all of the pleasures of summer time in a calmly pink glass. A / $19

The slight residual sugar tempers the acidity right here, which tends to assist this wine shine extra brightly when paired with meals. In any other case it tends to gum up a bit. Observe: The graffiti-inspired label makes the wine’s identify appear like “Passimento.” B+ / $16
2016 Famiglia Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG – We reviewed the 2015 expression of this wine final yr — an Amarone made within the classical appassimento type, the place grapes are harvested by hand and left to dry for months — to nice acclaim. I’m completely satisfied to report that the 2016 is each bit as thrilling, the mix of Corvina (65%), Rondinella (25%), Corvinone (5%), and Negrara (5%) grapes providing a traditional rendition of this distinctive type, loaded with dried cherries, blackberries, and a nice tea leaf character. Very mild with its iconic raisin notes, the supple wine presents as calmly candy, dusted with darkish chocolate and a brilliant reprise of cherries on the end. Let this one linger and it evolves, turning into extra austere within the glass over time. A fantastic worth for Amarone, additionally. A / $50 [BUY IT NOW FROM DRIZLY]
