Wine 101:

Learn about Pasqua Wines' innovative Italian rosé, '11 Minutes', with flavors of strawberries, peaches, and raspberries. The label features a poem by Roman poet Catullus. Perfect for springtime and warm weather events.

Rosé is a dry pink wine produced by using red grapes. The juice also called (must) is white and the wine skins are added for the color. France is the leader in producing rosé and the US coming in second. The Italians are getting in on the rosé platform and making exceptional strides.

An Innovator in Italian Wine

Pasqua Wines is an Italian winery and family owned since 1925.

They produce a wide range of red wines, sparkling, whites, and now rosé.

A moment of clarity came when the Pasqua family realized they had the resources to produce a Provence style rosé.

The Italian rosé is called “11 Minutes” this refers to the length of time the skins have in the must. Corvina which dominates in terms of percentage was chosen for its floral aromas and acidity. Trebbiano brings a long finish and Syrah offers baking spices. Carmenère creates a firm structure and stability to the rosé. 

Fantastic flavors of fresh strawberries, young peaches, plump raspberries, and vibrant citrus.

The wine is delicious and pairs well with pork, salmon, eggs, and buttered gnocchi.

An incredible wine for springtime meals and warm weather events.

The Incredible Wine Label’s History

A beautiful wine label is its own reward, and this holds true for the 11 Minutes breath taking label. “Odi et amo” Latin for “I hate and I love” written by Roman Poet Catullus for his female lover. The poem is written in Latin around the edges of the label.

The front and back labels work in concert to create an intriguing visual. The front label has a round cutout that allows you to see through the bottle to the back label. Printed on the inside of the back label is of a beautiful woman holding a bird. 

It’s a stunning effect and one of the best labels I ‘ve seen in years.

Pasqua has a terrific website featuring their wine portfolio. 

The company also has a diverse social media presence
