About This Wine


Michiamo

Pinot Grigio

Our Michiamo Pinot Grigio greets you with a plush and textural palate filled with bright citrus flavor. We encourage you to get to know this wine and let it tell you the story of the place from which it hails. During the day, the Pinot Grigio grapevines that line the hilly shores of Italy's largest lake, Lake Garda, soak up every ray of the warm Italian sun as it reflects off the lake's crystal-clear waters. When day turns to evening and the brilliant star-filled night sky blankets this region, these grapes are kept warm by residual heat, which radiates off the water. This extends the ripening period into the night and allows for maximum development of fruity flavor. As the constellations fade, and the moon bids farewell, Lake Garda holds onto the crisp nighttime temperatures and keeps the surrounding vineyards cool. This preserves the grape's natural acidity and results in a delightfully balanced and refreshingly fruity wine that pairs perfectly with stargazing. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Michiamo 2020 Pinot Grigio Garda DOC, Italy

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.

Vivid aromas of lemon and lime illuminate the night sky. A light-bodied palate offers flavors of grapefruit zest and wet stones in conjunction with lively acidity. This refreshing wine is perfect for evening dining “al fresco” with antipasto and light pasta sauces.
