PASQUA WINES: A DECADE OF ICONS, A LEGACY OF NEW CLASSICS

Pasqua Wines' boldest projects redefine tradition, with Terre di Cariano Amarone della Valpolicella 2018 awarded Tre Bicchieri

VERONA, Italy, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With its Icons collection, Pasqua Wines has brought bold, innovative wines to the forefront of the wine world. Once considered visionary and daring, these wines are now recognized by critics as benchmarks in the industry, showcasing the strength of the Veronese winery's enduring vision.

Pioneering labels such as Mai Dire Mai, Hey French, 11 Minutes, Cecilia Beretta, and Famiglia Pasqua have redefined the winery's identity and heritage in creative and modern ways. These wines were central to the winery's centenary celebrations and the Ode al Futuro project, the book celebrating Pasqua Wines's history and vision, and they continue to be among the most awarded in Italy and internationally.

Most recently, Gambero Rosso awarded the prestigious Tre Bicchieri in its 2026 Italian Wine Guide to Amarone della Valpolicella Terre di Cariano 2018 Cecilia Beretta, underscoring Pasqua Wines' ongoing commitment to excellence.

Other iconic labels have achieved the same distinction: Mai Dire Mai earned Tre Bicchieri for the 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012, and 2011 vintages, showcasing a consistently faithful yet innovative interpretation of Amarone della Valpolicella. In 2024, Gambero Rosso recognized Amarone della Valpolicella Cascina San Vincenzo Famiglia Pasqua 2018, further highlighting the winery's dedication to organic viticulture and the authentic expression of its terroir.
