Region
A wide and temperate agricultural region stretching from Venice to Verona and north to the Alpine foothills. In the west around Lake Garda, are the important generic wines - Valpolicella, Soave and Bardolino. Much of Italy`s commercial Pinot Grigio and Merlot is grown further east, but the Glera grape makes the region`s distinctly fashionable sparkling wine, Prosecco. However the recent popularity of Amarone and Ripasso has really re-established this region as one of Italy best wine growing areas and quality is out of all recognition from the light carafe wines of the early 80`s.
 
Tasting Notes
This is a typical Pinot Grigio from northeast Italy made by the beautiful city of Verona. Fermented at controlled cool temperatures to preserve delicate fruit character with selected yeasts. In appearance this wine is a brilliant straw yellow in colour with an elegant perfume of acacia flowers, almonds and dried fruit. A soft, well-balanced palate combines citrus, exotic fruit and fresh apples. Elegant and dry with a crisp, citrus acidity and a medium finish.
 
Food
An ideal accompaniment to hors d`ouvres, fish dishes, soups and white meats.
