Filter
Bual is the English term named after the Portuguese Boal grape. The white wine grape variety refers to a handful of grapes, but it typically refers to the Bual de Madeira grape type. Bual wines are typically sweet wines that are produced from large and sweet grapes. The heaviness and flavor of the Bual grapes make them delicious table grapes. The taste of these grapes is similar to the Sercial variety. The bual grape type is a great place to start if one is trying Madeira wines for the first time. Bual wine is typically aromatic, but is not too sweet. This wine has hints of acidity, which helps balance the sweetness of it. Although it is one of the darkest, if not the darkest of all wines from Madeira, the type is certainly not overpowering and is very palatable. Madeira wines from the Bual variety are usually not as sweet as wine crafted from the Malmsey grape type, but it is sweeter than other grape types. The hints of caramel, apricot, orange, and dried fruits lend Bual a distinct taste. The Bual vines typically grow in regions of Spain and Portugal, but the regions tend to use the variety for fortified wines.

This Pinot Grigio is grown at the foot of the remains of what was once the stunning villa of the della Scala family, one of the most influencial families in Verona from the early 1200's to the late 1300's. The much admired ruler of Verona, Cangrande I della Scala, summered at this villa. Cangrande I was a great warrior, diplomatic prince and an important patron of the arts. He championed the works of Dante, Patrarch and Giotto. He created beautiful architecture throughout the city in the ornate, gothic style of his time. This label is a reproduction of the design taken from a fragment of the ornate and intricate art that once covered the ceilings of the villa. In Italian, Ornato means ornate or adorned. This label celebrates the beautiful, complex taste of the Della Scala family and the Gothic art of that period.
