Pasqua 11 Minutes Rose

ROSÉ VINIFICATION

The new rosé interpretation by Famiglia Pasqua is a fine blend created from

the most noble native varietals like Corvina and Trebbiano di Lugana and

varietals like Syrah and Carmenère. The name 11 MINUTES refers to the

duration of the skin contact, the pressing of the grapes: the full load of grapes

is very softly pressed. In this optimal length of time we extract the most noble

qualities of the grapes and obtain the slightly rosy shade that characterize this

wine. Once the precious must is created, it is cooled and transferred to a steel

tank where it remains for about 11 hours, the necessary time for the more

solid parts to decant. After transferring again, the must is inoculated with

select yeasts and fermentation begins. Temperature range is maintained

between 13° and 16°C. During fermentation, the condition of the yeasts in the

wine and the entire metabolic process is monitored daily to ensure that it is

functioning at its best. Once alcoholic fermentation is concluded, the wine

remains in contact with the lees for about 3-4 months. The wine is then

filtered and bottled in preparation for commercial availability in January

following the harvest.

A blend of Corvina 50%, Trebbiano di Lugana 25%, Syrah 15%, Carmenère

10%. The grapes have been carefully chosen so that, when harvested at proper

maturity, they express all the characteristics desired for our rosé. The Corvina

varietal dominates in terms of percentage and was chosen because it is one of

the principal cultivars in our territory and for the floral aroma it gives the wine

as well as guaranteeing significant acidity. Trebbiano brings elegance and a

long aftertaste; Syrah gives fine fruit and spice notes to the glass and finally,

Carmenère creates structure, ensuring stability over time.
