Description

Straw yellow, coppery, white paper, rosé, onion skin: these are the shades we can expect when encountering a Pinot Grigio, which often raises the legitimate question of what exactly is the correct expression of the color of this wine.

Pinot Grigio is commonly referred to as a white grape, but that is incorrect, as it is not a truly white grape. The name itself – grigio means gray – indicates that it is a grape that is not perfectly white. This variety is a mutation of Pinot Noir, and without delving into the details of genetics, a glance at the berry’s color is enough to understand this.
