Pasqua 11 Minutes Rose 2025

In the heart of the Veneto, near Lake Garda, the Pasqua family has spent a century refining their craft. The “11 Minutes” name isn’t just clever marketing; it’s a precise winemaking technicality. Eleven minutes is the exact duration of skin contact the juice receives during a very soft pressing—just enough time to extract the most noble qualities of the grapes and a whisper of that iconic, pale-pink hue without over-extracting tannins or heavy color.

The 2025 vintage leads with Corvina, a local powerhouse that provides the wine’s backbone of bright acidity and elegant floral notes. Trebbiano di Lugana adds a layer of citrus-driven sophistication and length, while small percentages of Syrah and Carménère bring a touch of spice and structural integrity that makes this wine surprisingly food-friendly.
