Pinot Grigio

Italy’s most famous white wine export, Pinot Grigio is known for its light, crisp, and refreshing style. Predominantly grown in Veneto, Friuli, and Trentino, it offers flavors of green apple, pear, citrus, and white flowers. Typically unoaked, it retains bright acidity and a clean, mineral finish, making it an ideal apéritif or seafood pairing. While many versions are simple and easy-drinking, high-quality expressions from Alto Adige and Friuli showcase greater depth and complexity. Though often dismissed as a mass-market wine, well-made Pinot Grigio proves that it can be a refined, elegant white with notable terroir expression.
