Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris) Wines
Calling all wine explorers! Did you know Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are actually the same grape, just with different names depending on where they’re from? This naming convention also reflects the stylistic profiles of the wine from various regions. This popular white wine has gained immense popularity in recent years, becoming one of the most well-known and widely consumed white wines globally. Its crisp and refreshing style, along with its food-friendly nature, has made it a popular choice for many wine drinkers.>
Varietal Origin
Pinot Grigio, also known as Pinot Gris, is a white grape variety that is believed to have originated in France's Burgundy region. It’s a mutation of Pinot Noir, a red grape variety, and has different colour variations, ranging from greyish-blue to pinkish-brown. Pinot Grigio is now grown in many wine regions around the world, including Italy, France, the United States, and Australia.
Popular Pinot Grigio Wines by Region
Pinot Grigio is widely associated with Italy, particularly in the northeastern regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto, where it’s known for its light and crisp style. In Italy, Pinot Grigio is typically vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit flavours and acidity. In France, Pinot Gris is grown in the Alsace region, where it can produce dry to sweet styles, often with richer and more complex flavours compared to Italian Pinot Grigio. Pinot Grigio is also grown in other regions around the world, such as the United States, where it is known for its light and easy-drinking style.
