Christi, Alex & The Romeo & Juliet Wine!

What happens when fresh grapes are picked, but not processed? If you are in Rome, the answer might be that these grapes are being laid to rest in wooden crates in their own little home, with gentle, cool breezes sweeping off the hills to slowly, carefully and patiently reduce the water level in them. Once these grapes have lost 30% of their water, they are then pressed & fermented, where their higher concentration of sugar & solids create a more intensely flavored wine- a wine that expresses the passion & fire of the town where Romeo wooed, wed, courted & died with his love Juliet! (All in the span of three days, but who's counting, right??)Familia Pasqua uses ancient techniques brought to modern days in creating a wine worthy of Shakespeare's passionate romance, and yet inexpensive enough to be part of your own wooing!
