Is there actually any word/prefix that fits in this sequence, to denote the midpoint between the two extremes #Micro and #Macro?
What seems more natural than, say, semi-micro / semi-macro?

@megmaker nice!
This is the only time I managed to get pic of them, with a fairly useless snapshooter camera (and one of the few times I've seen any during daytime hours ... hear them all the time at night however, particularly caterwauling during mating season every year)
@megmaker I mean vinifera grapes whose skin is any shade of pink (rather than black), & I'm basing it on the VIVC database using 5 different skin color categories (blanc, noir, rouge, rose, gris):
A few examples from VIVC:
gris (Piquepoul Gris, Garnacha Roja)
rose (Veltliner Rot, Mauzac Rose)
rouge (Chasselas Rouge, Sémillon Rose)
Pics of those last 2 on other sites show pinkish grapes, so I just assume the VIVC categories gris, rose & rouge all refer to pink grapes.
What would you generally call #wine made from pink #grapes using skin #maceration?
It's not really orange/amber, red, or rosé, and I'm guessing if it's not #PinotGrigio then it's not really ramato either? Erm, maybe ramato sbagliato?!
If there is a term, does it change from country to country?
@AlexGBardsley have you ever had any specifically from a cool climate zone in Italy?
Alsace seems like an interesting idea too
@FoodWineClick oh certainly there's more to it that latitude, & I don't know enough about all the possible pockets of microclimates, aspects & such in Piedmont & Aosta to know how analogous it would be
Just wish I had the capital & knowledge to do lots of experimental variations w/ Syrah in NW Italy if any part of it might indeed be similar enough for a few more decades w/o making exact clone, e.g., substituting an Italian grape for Viognier in one variation
It's a silly little daydream
