Understanding Pinot Grigio:

  • Origins and Traits: Originally from France where it's known as Pinot Gris, this grape gained prominence in Italy, particularly in regions like Trentino and Friuli. Pinot Grigio is celebrated for its ability to produce refreshing wines with high acidity and bright citrus flavors.
  • Winemaking Processes: The winemaking approach significantly impacts the style of Pinot Grigio. In cooler climates, the focus is often on preserving the aromatic purity and sharp acidity, while in warmer regions, winemakers might aim for a fuller body with more pronounced fruit flavors.
  • Global Styles: Compare the classic Italian Pinot Grigio, known for its lean and crisp character, with the richer and more substantial Pinot Gris from Alsace and Oregon, demonstrating the versatility of this varietal.
