Pinot Grisピノ・グリ

Wineries growing it: 44
Awards: 8

A white grape with pinkish-grey skins, usually giving a gently aromatic white with a slightly fuller texture.

A natural mutation of the red grape Pinot Noir; 'gris' is French for grey, describing the greyish-purple tint of its skins. In Italy, as Pinot Grigio, it is typically made light and crisp, while in Alsace it tends toward pear and honey aromas with a richer texture. In Japan it is planted in cooler regions such as Hokkaido and Nagano. It goes well with slightly richer dishes — mushrooms, pork, and miso-based cooking.
