Pinot Grigio, also known as Pinot Gris, is a popular white wine grape variety that produces crisp and refreshing wines. Characterized by its light to medium-bodied texture and bright acidity, this wine often showcases vibrant flavors of green apple, pear, citrus fruits, and occasionally stone fruits, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a lively drinking experience.
The aromatic profile of Pinot Grigio includes floral notes and citrus zest, complemented by hints of green melon and sometimes almond or honey. Typically originating from regions such as Italy’s Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto, Alsace in France, Oregon in the USA, and New Zealand, this wine is usually fermented in stainless steel to maintain its freshness. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like shellfish, light salads, chicken or turkey meals, pasta with light sauces, and fresh cheeses. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at around 45–50°F (7–10°C).
