What’s in a name?”—Shakespeare Prosecco week would not be complete without noting the wine of Verona! Pasqua Italian Wines Passionesentimento Prosecco Spumate Brut tells the famous love story that has made Verona famous all over the world. The label features a wall shot of Juliet’s courtyard where many have written their love story. But also worth nothing is the distinction of DOC on the bottle!DOC (or Denominazione di Origini Controllata) is Italian for “controlled designation of origin.” This is the protected geographic designation that marks the exclusivity of Prosecco to the area of Northeastern Italy. According to EU Law, Prosecco can come out of only 9 provinces in Italy and it MUST be made with at least 85% Glera Grapes. Verona is one of those provinces! Pasqua’s Romeo & Juliet Proseco is made using the Charmat method that is native to this wine-growing region. It is vivacious and fresh with a fresh and balanced palate. Expect a rather intense and fruity nose and a mouth-feel that is aromatic and finally a pleasantly tangy finish.Want to find a bottle to enjoy during #NationalProseccoWeek?
