Famiglia Pasqua, a leading name in wines from Northeast Italy’s Veneto region, is proud to introduce Hey French: you could have done this, but you didn’t. A rule-breaking multi-vintage Bianco Veneto IGT from the Soave Classico zone, this small-production, still white wine, with an SRP of $40, is now shipping to key markets nationwide. Pasqua Wines USA, Manhasset, N.Y., is the importer.
Hey French “First Edition” is a blend of four vintages, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and three grape varieties: 60% Garganega rounded out by Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc. Fruit was sourced from several parcels of vineyard on the Veronese side of Monte Calvarina in the easternmost section of Soave Classico. Volcanic soil provides the potential for structured, long-lived, minerally wines.
