This is a wine of great concentration, structure, elegance and power. Still youthful but with great personality. Created from the best indigenous varieties from Valpolicella: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta. Grapes are harvested by hand, selected with great attention and placed in boxes for appassimento for 4 months to reach a higher sugar concentration. After pressing, the grapes undergo a pre-fermentation cold maceration. Fermentation then takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 40 days. The wine is then aged in French oak casks for 24 months. Taste The 2010 harvest was a slightly cooler and wetter year but considered excellent by critics. Amarone 2010 “Mai Dire Mai” is intense, warm and rich on the palate. A wine of great complexity and freshness with very good acidity. Tannins are firm but elegant with a persistent finish. The story of Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine starts in Verona, in 1925 when the Pasqua brothers first started producing wines from the Veneto. The winery is a testimony to the strong relationship between the Pasqua family and the Veneto area. “Mai dire Mai” (Never say Never) was created from the desire of two Verona families to get involved in a project of excellence: a wine combining the near century of experience of the Pasqua family and the exceptional characteristics of the terroir belonging to the Dal Colle family. It is the result of a long search for an elegant and unique style of wine produced on the right terroir. With “Mai dire Mai” Pasqua have crafted a product that is both iconic and extraordinary. The range is composed of a Valpolicella Superiore 2012 and an Amarone 2010, two strong and outstanding wines which are the fruits of an innovative interpretation of a terroir with exceptional characteristics.
