Pinot Grigio is an international grape, grown throughout the world. In Italy, the grape is mainly produced in the Lombardy, Alto Adige, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions of Italy. The word ‘pinot’ means pinecone in French. It was popular in the Middle Ages in the Burgundy region of France. Wines produced from Pinot Grigio grapes vary in colour. Some are a deep, sunshine yellow and others are a gentle yellow with hints of pink. Pinot Grigio wines differ in taste based on region and winemaking style. Italy mainly produces light-bodied, lean, crisp and acidic Pinot Grigio wines. Flavours are of subtle citrus fruits. Pairs well with seafood, light pastas and cheese cracker combinations. Avoid acidic dishes such as tomato based Italian meals.
