Pasqua Le Collezioni Sangiovese 1.5 Litre

Pasqua Le Collezioni Sangiovese offers bright cherry and ripe plum flavours with hints of blackberry and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied with juicy acidity, soft tannins and a velvety texture that remains persistent. The finish is long with cherryish qualities and lingering fruit notes, creating a well-balanced drinking experience that showcases classic Sangiovese character.

This wine is produced by Pasqua, a respected winery based in Italy's Veneto region. The Sangiovese grape variety used in this wine is one of Italy's most important and widely planted red varieties, known for its bright acidity and red fruit character. Pasqua has crafted this expression to highlight the grape's approachable, fruit-forward qualities while maintaining balance and structure.

This Sangiovese pairs exceptionally well with Mediterranean cuisine, particularly pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, pizza margherita, and grilled lamb chops with rosemary. The wine's juicy acidity and soft tannins complement the acidity in tomato sauces while the fruit notes balance herbs and grilled meats. The medium to full body has enough weight to stand up to hearty dishes without overwhelming lighter preparations.

The bright acidity and red fruit character of Pasqua Le Collezioni Sangiovese make it ideal for Italian comfort food including spaghetti bolognese, lasagna, and osso buco. It also works beautifully with charcuterie boards featuring aged cheeses, prosciutto and salami. The wine's soft tannins and velvety texture handle rich, savoury flavours while the cherry notes add a fresh counterpoint to fatty meats.

Serve Pasqua Le Collezioni Sangiovese at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius, which is slightly cooler than conventional room temperature reds. This moderate serving temperature allows the bright fruit aromas to shine while keeping the wine refreshing and balanced. Use a standard red wine glass to allow the aromas to develop fully, and there's no need to decant this approachable style.
