Pasqua Wines Celebrates a Century of Excellence
As Pasqua Wines commemorates its remarkable centennial this year, the company embraced its rich heritage through an exclusive event that beautifully intertwined the worlds of wine and art. This unique gathering took place at Rizzoli Bookstore in New York City, showcasing the launch of Ode al Futuro, a book crafted to celebrate the winery's 100-year legacy.
The Evening of Art and Wine
The occasion attracted wine aficionados, art lovers, and members from the press, creating an atmosphere of lively dialogue and appreciation. The conversation was led by renowned journalist Valeria Robecco, who featured prominent figures such as Giuseppe Ragazzini, an international artist whose work inspires the essence of the book. The event also showcased insights from Riccardo Pasqua, CEO of Pasqua Wines, and Alessandro Pasqua, President of Pasqua USA.
Exploring Iconic Labels
Under the creative direction of Giuseppe Ragazzini, Ode al Futuro artfully reinterprets five of Pasqua's iconic wine labels. The distinct labels include Famiglia Pasqua, Mai Dire Mai, 11 Minutes, Hey French, and Terre di Cariano Cecilia Beretta. Each label has been given new life by celebrated artists like Michael Mapes, Sofia Crespo, Gaia Alari, Enzo, and Ragazzini himself, while a compelling narrative by writer Filippo Bologna frames the project's creative direction.
A Taste of Heritage
Following the presentation, attendees indulged in a walk-around tasting, sampling a selection of Pasqua's flagship wines. This exquisite lineup included beloved varieties such as 11 Minutes Rosé, Pinot Grigio Black Label, PassioneSentimento Rosso, Hey French You Could Have Made This But You Didn't, and Famiglia Pasqua Amarone della Valpolicella. Each tasting brought guests closer to the intricate heritage of the Veneto region, reflected in the unique flavors of every wine.

Meaningful Moments and Connections
Reflecting on the relevance of presenting Ode al Futuro in New York, Alessandro Pasqua expressed, "Presenting this book here in New York is particularly meaningful. The U.S. has always been a key market where we've invested in building relationships and sharing our story. This presentation is more than a milestone; it reaffirms that wine, like art, inspires, connects, and transcends borders."
With passion and commitment, Riccardo Pasqua added, "Since 1925, making wine has been a beautiful challenge for us. Capturing the essence of a vineyard and converting it into a work of art, like wine, is not just an opportunity but our privilege. The relationship between wine and art is profound, which is why we engage with artists through projects like Ode al Futuro and many others."
A Legacy of Vision
Established in 1925, Pasqua Wines has consistently built a legacy steeped in knowledge, artistry, and a forward-thinking spirit. The release of Ode al Futuro in New York epitomizes the culmination of a year-long global celebration, showcasing the winery's commitment to honor its past while paving the way for the future.
