Details
The PASQUA Morago Appassite 2019 is a distinctive and richly flavored red wine, showcasing the innovative use of the Appassimento technique in winemaking. This method, traditionally associated with the Veneto region of Italy, involves partially drying grapes to concentrate their flavors and sugars before fermentation.
This particular wine is a blend of Merlot (40%), Corvina (30%), and Croatina (30%). Each varietal contributes its unique characteristics to create a complex and harmonious profile. Merlot adds softness and roundness, Corvina brings structure and red fruit flavors, and Croatina offers depth and additional fruity nuances.
The wine's deep ruby red color is a visual indicator of its intensity and richness. The nose is greeted with intense aromas of red berries, a characteristic feature of these grape varieties, enhanced by the Appassimento process. Alongside the fruitiness, there are hints of spices, adding to the wine's aromatic complexity.
On the palate, the PASQUA Morago Appassite 2019 displays a balance of flavors and textures. The velvety tannins provide a smooth and structured mouthfeel, while the wine's inherent softness and round finish make it both approachable and enjoyable. The wine's balance and depth are indicative of its quality and the skillful blending of the varietals.
This wine pairs exceptionally well with robust dishes such as red meats and game, as well as with aged cheeses. Its structure and flavor profile make it an ideal companion to hearty and flavorful meals.
