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 good friends and scenic landscapes. 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.
