About this Wine

Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine has a long tradition in wine in Italy celebrating almost a century of viticulture and fine winemaking. Founded in 1925 in Verona by the Famiglia Pasqua, the wines of Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine tell a rich story of wine in Valpolicella where the initial vines were planted and later along the east coast of Lake Garda. The Pasqua family has established itself as a leader in the Italian and international wine markets, serving 65 markets at present.

The Lui Cabernet Sauvignon is known for being a bold and aggressive wine with complex layers that take drinkers on a journey of flavors. Nestled in a hot-climate zone, the Cabernet Sauvignon results in an opulent, fruit-driven wine. Dark fruits like black currant and cassis initially dominate the palate with hints of mint, sweet walnut and coffee showing up in the finish. Having spent time in cognac barrels, this wine particularly showcases the oak impact with rich scents of vanilla, coconut, dark rum and mascarpone, rounded out by a touch of tobacco. The mouthfeel is generous with soft tannins and high-alcohol that lifts the wine. Great with food, this Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with a variety of meat dishes including red meat entrees, burgers, venison and lamb, as well as hearty pasta dishes and a variety of cheeses.

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.
