Caduto dalle Nuvole
Garda DOC, Italy
Lively acidity and classic citrus flavors shine in this award-winning Pinot Grigio from Garda, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Caduto dalle Nuvole
Pinot Grigio
Nestled in the Northern part of Italy, the climate in the Garda region is classic Mediterranean—warm, sunny days and idyllic for grape growing. Situated on Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, Garda’s landscape includes cypress, olive, cherry, and lemon trees in addition to vast vineyard plantings. A cool breeze comes off of the lake, which moderates temperatures and gives some relief to varietals that grow in the region. The Pinot Grigio grape thrives in the Garda sunshine, giving fruit ample ripening time and an opportunity to develop and retain its natural acidity. With classic citrus flavors, light earthy notes, and a lively acidity, this Pinot Grigio is plush on the palate. This wine is fruit-forward but not in an overly sweet way and is delightfully uncomplicated. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

WINE REGION:
Garda DOC
Nowhere inspires romance quite like Italy's Lake Garda. Its eastern shores merge into the beautifully terraced hillsides of Verona, where vines meet cypress, olive, cherry, and citrus groves. Chardonnay is the most planted variety here, soaking in the warm Mediterranean sun and developing fine acids and aromatics in the cool Alpine air. Garganega (the grape of nearby Soave) also thrives, as does Riesling and northeast Italy's ubiquitous Pinot Grigio. Garda's famous light reds—Valpolicella and Bardolina—are made principally from the local Corvina grape. Other outstanding Garda wines include Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) designation for Italian wines was introduced in the 1960s. It is the main classification system used in the country and regulates what winemakers can and cannot do regarding wine style, varietal restrictions, minimum and maximum alcohol levels, aging techniques and growing regions.

TASTING NOTES:
Mineral
Lemon
Grapefruit
Classic citrus notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit zest shine in this wine. Lively acidity balances out the natural tartness of the fruit flavors and is complemented by earthy notes of wet stone and a slight minerality.
