Tips to Choose a Great Pinot Grigio

Known for its light, crisp, refreshing style, Pinot Grigio is a favourite of many white wine drinkers worldwide. Finding the right Pinot Grigio begins by looking at the wine’s origin. Northern Italian varieties are light, dry and refreshing, making it a perfect choice for a hot summer day. But if you like your white wines fuller, a rich Pinot Gris from Alsace in France is a must-try. You can also find similar wines from warm US regions or New Zealand . Pinot Grigio wines are rarely aged and are designed to be drunk when ‘young’ – within 1-3 years of release. However, some Alsace Pinot Gris wines have excellent ageing potential, with Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottles having the longest drinking windows.

What foods pair well with Pinot Grigio?

Pinot Grigio's high acidity and bright flavours make it a versatile wine for food pairing. Its light, refreshing style goes well with light dishes, particularly those featuring seafood or fresh vegetables. It also suits turkey or chicken, as well as sushi, light pasta dishes and risottos… and of course, a Caprese salad. Pinot Grigio is often served in Italy with green pesto dishes, following the ‘what grows together goes together’ rule. If you’re after a cheese and wine pairing, you’re in luck with Pinot Grigio. It’s a must with a sweet, nutty Gruyere, semi-soft Muenster and fresh Mozzarella. Discover Your Next Perfect Pairing .
