Garda DOC, Italy
Charming and fresh with spirited citrus and tingling acidity
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Maiden's Delight
Pinot Grigio
The newest vintage of our Maiden's Delight Pinot Grigio offers dazzling citrus flavors and lively acidity complemented by refined minerality. Beautifully balanced and approachable, this delightful wine comes from the Lake Garda DOC in northern Italy. Here, vineyards line the bright green hills dotted with olive groves, and single lane roads lined with cypress trees wind through the picturesque landscape. The region's Mediterranean climate provides a long, warm growing season. Chilly winds from off the lake rustle the vine's canopy and provide relief from high temperatures. This allows the Pinot Grigio grapes enough time to ripen and develop rich flavors while retaining their natural acidity. This textural wine is refreshing on its own but also makes a fantastic pair with lighter pasta dishes and creamy cheeses. For ideal enjoyment, serve well chilled on sunlight patios shared with goo ...

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:
Wet Stone
Grapefruit
Lemon
Bright citrus aromas of lemon and grapefruit hover above your glass. Mouthwatering acidity complements the slightly tart citrus notes, while a fresh and textural characteristic of wet stone offers intriguing minerality and grounds the palate.
