Garda DOC, Italy
Lively and lush, our 95 point Italian Pinot Grigio is a classic expression of the varietal
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Tintoretto
Pinot Grigio
The Garda region of Northern Italy is a genuinely classic Mediterranean place. Situated on Italy’s largest lake, Lake Garda, the landscape is dotted with cypress, olive, and lemon trees, making it beautifully picturesque. The appellation sees warm days full of sunshine during the growing season, a perfect climate for wine. A cooling breeze comes off of the water, which assists in moderating temperatures, giving fruit a bit of a relief from the bright sun. Varietals that thrive in warmer climates without needing much babysitting during the growing season do incredibly well in Garda, and this stunning Pinot Grigio is no exception! This wine is plush, textural, and rich with plentiful citrus notes. Uncomplicated but full of sophistication, every sip has a lively acidity that will make your mouth water and have you going back for glass after glass. This bottle is a gorgeous reflection of ...

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
Beautifully lush flavors of lemon, lime, and grapefruit zest meld together and are complemented by a lively and rich acidity that makes the wine linger on the palate. A touch of minerality and wet stone notes hit the back end of each sip, adding texture and richness.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Tintoretto
The Renaissance gave birth to a treasure trove of ideas and idols, two of which serve as the inspiration behind Tintoretto. The radiant, golden pig on our label symbolizes the daily luxuries awakened by the Renaissance. Pigs have been used for hunting truffles since the Romans, but it wasn't until Italian Renaissance writer Bartolomeo Plantina documented this practice that the idea came to life. For our name, we look to Venice-born painter Jacopo Tintoretto. Inspired by the Italian greats Michelangelo and Titian, Tintoretto used his bold colors and dramatic gestures to tell the story of Italy's past and present. Each bottle of Tintoretto strives to do the same. By using classic Italian varietals and blends, these wines share a taste of Italy's rich history, one of art, science, tradition and rebirth.
