# Experimental Wine Projects Pasqua Wines Continues Its Experimental Wine Experience By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-03-19 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experimental-wine-project References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pasqua-wines-unveils-fifth-edition-of-hey-french-and-honors-veronas-cultural-heritage-302717997.html)  The Verona-based winery [Pasqua Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasting-and-pairing-concept) announced the launch of the fifth edition of its [experimental wine project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Experiential-wine-campaigns) 'Hey French: You Could Have Made It But You Didn't.' This was timed with its sponsorship of the Estate Teatrale Veronese cultural festival. The 'Hey French: You Could Have Made It But You Didn't' "represents the boldest expression of the winery's experimental spirit." The expression employs a rare [multi-vintage blending technique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tenuta-luce) for still wines in Italy, combining six vintages from 2015 to 2024 through joint maceration and aging in barriques and tonneaux. This results in a complex profile of exotic fruit, chamomile, sage, rose buds, almond notes from Garganega, herbaceous hints from Sauvignon Blanc, and subtle volcanic minerality.
