During the wine show, Pasqua collaborated with an art collective to put on a large scale installation, demonstrating that wine can express itself as a collaborator in the arts as easily as it can in a tasting note.
The company has been developing a longstanding engagement with creative projects that include podcasting, craftworks and much more.
Regarding winemaking at Pasqua, Riccardo talks about the work going on behind the scenes that is aligning the company with the global push for sustainability.
This includes joining the highly respected Equalitas Certification programme in Italy, and also making moves towards organic conversion with wines already certified.
I caught up with Pasqua again at VinExpo Paris last month, where Riccardo hinted that at VinItaly in April visitors will see a collaborative art sequel that is going to be big. No details have been revealed, even to the Pasqua team.
This interview discusses Pasqua’s collaboration with the arts and also the inevitable journey towards sustainability that is the hot topic of the wine industry.
