Pinot Grigio
Top countries producing this wine: |
One of the most familiar grape names to any wine drinker, Pinot Grigio is the Italian name for the Pinot Gris of France, named for its pinkish-grey skin. One of the best-known mutations of Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio is much appreciated for its soft, gentle texture, light body and pleasing perfume. While Italy makes a light, crisp style, the Pinot Gris of Alsace is bolder, riper and fatter, with rich flavors that stand up to the traditional cured sausages and hearty cuisine of the region. Oregon producers, for the most part, also call their flavorful version Pinot Gris. Along with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris has become a flagship grape for this region. The body is often fuller than the Italian style, with concentrated flavors of peach, apple, lime sherbet, and almonds. |

In a good year, Italy is the world’s top wine-producing country by volume (with France also claiming that distinction at times), and has a rich winemaking history dating back to the 8th century BC. Greek colonists were the first to establish viticulture in Italy, and production later flourished with the rise of the Roman Empire. Today, Italy accounts for nearly a fifth of the world’s wine production, and the country’s diverse landscape and latitudinal range — from the Alps in the north to within a short nautical jaunt of Africa in the south — lends itself to a variety of different styles. Among Italy’s most-celebrated styles are Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti, made primarily with Sangiovese from the Tuscany region, and Barolo and Barbaresco from the Piedmont region, produced exclusively from Nebbiolo. Italy also produces some terrific whites. Besides Pinot Grigio, which is the most well-known and commercially successful white varietal from Italy, other grapes that stand out are Trebbiano, Verdicchio, Vernaccia and Moscato — the grape used in Italy’s most famous sparkling wine, Asti. |
