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

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.
