1st Course
Risotto Nero with Shrimp
Wine-Famiglia Pasqua Pinot Grigio delle Venezia DOC
‘Sure to beat your everyday Pinot Grigio. Pasqua's Pinot Grigio is a pleasant, fruity wine with notes of pear and apricot and floral hints. Fresh, harmonious and well balanced. The must undergoes a slight cleaning by static settling. Beginning of fermentation is carried out by inoculation of selected yeasts at controlled temperature of 16-18° C. Then the product is cleaned and stocked in stainless steel tanks.”
2nd Course
Baked Salmon with Fennel and Tomatoes
Wine-Famiglia Pasqua 11 Minutes Rose Trevenezia
“91pts - Decanter Magazine 11 MINUTES refers to the duration of the skin contact, the pressing of grapes: the full load of grapes is very softly pressed. In this optimal length of time we extract the most noble qualities of the grapes and obtain the slightly rosy shade that characterize this wine. The new rosé interpretation by Famiglia Pasqua is a fine blend created from the most noble native varietals like Corvina and Trebbiano di Lugana and varietals like Syrah and Carmenère.”
Entrée
Grilled Leg of Lamb
Sun dried Tomato Pesto
Wine-Famiglia Pasqua Passimento Rosso, Veneto IGT
40% Merlot, 30% Corvina, 30% Croatina
“Founding wine and starting point of the Romeo & Juliet project; red like love and passion. A blend of Corvina and Croatina grapes with a percentage of Merlot, which the drying period renders velvetier still. The grapes are picked by hand and left to dry in wooden crates in the drying loft. There, by means of humidity control and air circulation, the grapes lose around 30% of their water content and achieve a high sugar concentration. Given that the grapes have differing ageing times, vinification takes place separately in steel tanks; the blend being created only after this. PassioneSentimento is aged in oak tonneau barrels for 3 months.”
