Pinot grigio, pronounced pee-no gree-jo, is a light-bodied white wine with a refreshing flavor. It’s one of four common types of pinot grapes alongside pinot blanc, pinot noir, and pinot meunier. It has a gray-purple skin and is used to make white and rose wine. Its dominant flavors are lemon, yellow apple, melon, nectarine, and peach. Despite this, it isn’t considered a fruit-forward wine. It’s light-bodied and dry with average acidity and alcohol content. Originally from France and Italy, the three largest modern producers are Italy, the USA, and Germany. Enjoy pinot grigio ice cold in a white wine glass. Pair it with a flaky fish dish, shellfish, and softer cow’s milk cheeses.

Pinot grigio, also known as pinot gris, has three common styles. The style from Northern Italy that we most associate with this wine grape is minerally and dry with citrus notes and salinity. American, Australian, and other warm weathered climates typically produce pinot grigio that is fruity and dry. Sweet and fruity pinot grigio is typically made in Alsace, France, and is imbued with flavors of peach, lemon, and honey. The Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy produces a unique style of pinot grigio called ramato that is used to make a pale-copper-colored rose.
