Pinot Grigio
This grape is a mutation from the red pinot noir and family of the pinot blanc. It grows in relatively cool regions. Pinot Grigio is the same grape as Pinot Gris but usually grown in Italy.
Taste
The pinot gris wine has an average acidity. The most wines are quite modest in smell and taste. White fruit (peach, lemon), gravel/mineral accents and spiciness are characteristic flavor elements. Some producers make highly concentrated pinot gris wines (both dry and sweet), with more complex elements.
