About this Wine

Pasqua Nero d'Avola Sicilia 2023 is crafted in Sicily, Italy's sun-drenched southern island renowned for producing bold, characterful red wines from indigenous grape varieties. Nero d'Avola, Sicily's most important red grape, thrives in the island's warm Mediterranean climate, developing concentrated flavours and rich colour intensity. The winemaking process focuses on preserving the variety's natural fruit-forward character whilst creating smooth, velvety tannins that make the wine immediately approachable. The grapes are carefully harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure perfect balance between fruit concentration and natural acidity. Traditional vinification methods are employed, with controlled fermentation in temperature-regulated stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant fruit aromatics of ripe blackberry and plum. Gentle extraction techniques during maceration ensure the development of smooth, velvety tannins without excessive astringency. The wine undergoes a period of maturation, likely in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak vessels, which adds subtle complexity and warm spice notes of cinnamon and clove without overwhelming the wine's inherent fruit-forward character. The result is a rich, well-balanced Sicilian red that showcases the best qualities of Nero d'Avola whilst offering exceptional value and immediate drinking pleasure.

Venetian Wine

Veneto is in North Eastern Italy and is a high producing, multi-faceted wine region that does several different wine varieties well.

In whites you have the indigenous grape, Garganega, which is the main grape in Soave wines. Today you can find great value Soave wine but also producers focussing on low yield, high quality winemaking in the original Soave zone called Soave Classico. Wines made here are complex, exhibiting flavours such as ripe pear, yellow peach, melon or orange zest and have smoky and floral aromas with a fresh mineral finish. Much of Italy’s famous crisp and refreshing Pinot Grigio also comes from this region.

In red wines, Valpolicella is the most notable. This uniquely Italian wine is made from a blend of Italian grapes, predominantly Corvina with a minority of Rondinella, Molinara, Corvinone and other indigenous varietals. Valpolicella is made in a wide variety of styles. On one hand, you have light-bodied wines resembling Beaujolais Nouveau with a sour cherry flavour, alcohol content often around 11%. On the other hand, you have full bodied Recioto (desert red wine) and Amarone (dry red) that reach 15-16% alcohol. Both of these heavier wine styles have achieved DOCG status. Amarone is rich and intense with flavour and aroma notes often compared with Port.

Prosecco which has been quite a popular sparkling wine variety in Australia in recent times also comes from the Veneto wine region.
