WINE MAKING PROCESS
Passione Sentimento Rosso Veneto IGT is produced by Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine using a blend of Merlot, Corvina, and Croatina grapes. A key technique is *appassimento*, where Merlot and Corvina grapes are dried for one month in a 'Fruttaio' to concentrate sugars and flavors. The varieties are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 3-6 months in oak tonneaux or large barrels before blending. This process results in a full-bodied red wine with pronounced intensity.
