About This Wine


Maiden's Delight

Pinot Grigio

The climate in the Garda region of Italy is classic Mediterranean. It is warm and sunny and idyllic for grape growing. Nestled in the Northern part of the country and on Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, the landscape in Garda is dotted with cypress, olive, cherry, and lemon trees. Chilly winds come off the lake, giving grapes some relief from the otherwise hot environment. Fruit has just enough time to ripen and develop flavors while retaining natural acidity. Pinot Grigios like this one thrive in the region. Classic citrus flavors and a lively acidity are complemented by slight earthy notes and minerality. Round on the palate and fruit-forward, this wine is beautifully balanced and uncomplicated. An amazing pair with lighter pasta dishes and creamy cheeses, this should be enjoyed outdoors with friends.

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.

Bright citrus flavors of lemon, lime, and grapefruit zest jump out of the glass. A lively yet approachable acidity balances the slight tart of citrus. Earthy notes of wet stone and a subtle minerality round out the palate.
