Pasqua Wines Debuts New Tasting and Pairing Concept
Pasqua Wines has introduced a new tasting and pairing concept called 'Fuori Carta' for its Passito di Pantelleria wine. Dubbed Sangue d'Oro, this wine expression is produced in partnership with actress Carole Bouquet.
Pasqua Wines unveiled its Fuori Carta experience at the Italian Embassy in Paris. The tasting and pairing concept moves away from the conventional approach of serving Passito exclusively as a dessert wine, instead positioning it as a versatile option suitable for pairing with a wide range of dishes throughout an entire meal.
The Fuori Carta project stems from the winery's broader investment in Bouquet's estate on the island of Pantelleria. This collaboration aims at preserving the local winegrowing culture while also exploring new expressions and consumption contexts for this historically significant sweet wine.
