Critic tasting note: "Ripe and raw, but quite clean. No doubt this is a mass-market red, but still it retains an above-average level of quality from start to finish. The nose is big and bold, with rowdy berry fruit that never shies away or breaks up. Soft tannins create a soft finish as it ends with a blast of raspberry flavor. Just right for big parties and events." - Wine Enthusiast

In 1952, brothers Natale, Nicola, Riccardo and Umberto Pasqua moved from Puglia to Veneto and established their company, Vigneti del Sole, in Verona. Their philosophy, based on constant attention to quality in all aspects of viticulture and winemaking, carried over to the second generation of Pasqua brothers, Carlo, Giorgio and Umberto, who, along with their now grown sons and daughters, continue to run the prosperous wine company. In 2000, the family decided to return to their southern roots and set up winemaking operations back in Puglia, where they cultivate local varietals. This independent, family-owned winery has, for years, been successfully producing wines packed with fruit, liveliness and the superb characteristics of their region while remaining uncomplicated wines that are easy to drink and easy on the wallet.
