Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast
Concentrated aromas of spiced-plum preserves with vanilla, violet and chai spices. Lush and giving on the palate. Liquored cherries, cigar box, cocoa and oak spice, and fine and present tannins give the wine a strong foundation for aging, while the vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and lifted. Drink 2025–2040.

A firm and slightly racy Amarone with full body and tight, chewy tannins enveloping the intense bead of dried red berries. The tannins need a bit of time to mellow. Try from 2024.

Eric Guido - Vinous
The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Famiglia Pasqua is understated in the glass, showing just glimpses of peppery wild berries and crushed ashen stones. This is soft and round, with a mineral tinge up front as a cascade of crunchy wild berry fruit settles on the palate. It finishes with admirable length and a salty sensation as tart raspberry comes together with savory herbs and gently grippy tannins.
