A brief on Pinot Grigio & imported brands in India

Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris – The Easy White Wine Choice

Pinot Grigio is a wine that pleases all palates — when in doubt, open a Grigio. It is known for citrus, floral and stone fruit notes with refreshing acidity and is usually light on the pocket.

The same grape as Pinot Gris shows a riper style with lower acidity and more tropical fruit notes, sometimes slightly sweet.

Key Wine Regions

The benchmark for Pinot Grigio is North-East Italy — especially Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige.

The richer Pinot Gris style is found in Alsace (France) and parts of New Zealand.

Food Pairing Style

A very versatile wine — perfect with salted snacks, salads, sushi, grilled fish with lemon butter, and herb-based dishes.

Think of it as a start-your-evening wine — light, refreshing and easygoing.
