PINOT GRIGIO MACÈ ORGANIC - ORANGE

This magnificent Orange wine, with the Delle Venezie Pinot Grigio DOC appellation, is an exuberant orange wine obtained through a slow maceration of Pinot Grigio grapes (distinguished by the pink colour of their skins), which favours the extraction of delicate, yet striking aromas and fragrances.

It is a natural wine, spontaneously fermented and unfiltered. Although there is no uniform definition of natural wine, it is generally produced without the use of pesticides or herbicides and with few or no additives. It is produced on a small scale, using traditional rather than industrial techniques, and fermented with native yeasts.

With a vibrant orange hue, it offers spicy notes and orange zest on the nose. On the palate, it is very flavourful, revealing ripe apricot and rhubarb. A wine with good structure and very harmonious, yet low in alcohol. Surprising.

Respecting the serving temperature, which is that of a young red wine, Pinot Grigio Macè can accompany seafood, a seared tuna steak, beef tartare, or aged cheeses.

Poggio delle Grazie

Poggio delle Grazie was born a few steps from Lake Garda — a region long renowned for the production of white, red, and rosé wines.

The winery is located at the meeting point of two important appellations of origin in the region: DOC Bardolino and DOC Custoza. Access to a wide variety of indigenous grapes, both white and red, has allowed it to unleash its creativity and produce a diverse portfolio, which includes Quadrivium, a monovarietal produced with the Corvina grape, or an Orange wine from Pinot Grigio.

In the heart of the vineyards stands a small church, built in 1947, which inspired both the name and logo of the winery. A magical place that holds many stories and is worth a visit.

Sustainability

Sustainability is an essential component of the Poggio delle Grazie project, which has obtained organic certification.

It is a daily effort to protect the environment they cultivate with such care and passion — a landscape dominated by shades of green and blue. Vegetation is cut between rows in an alternating manner to encourage the presence of pollinating insects, while ensuring they do not interfere with the vines or grapes. Soil management under the vine rows is carried out mechanically, completely eliminating the use of chemical herbicides. Through constant monitoring of insects and diseases, Poggio delle Grazie ensures that the grapes intended for their wines remain healthy and in perfect condition. Biodiversity is favoured by the presence and cultivation of indigenous grape varieties, along with olive trees and other local flora species. This creates a perfectly balanced ecosystem.

To preserve a precious resource like water, a drip irrigation system is used in our vineyards. This is the most precise method to minimise water waste; additionally, it allows the vines to be kept under controlled water stress, which contributes to the production of high-quality grapes.
