DNA analyzes have found that, from a genetic point of view, pinot gris, pinot blanc and pinot noir are not three different grape varieties, but three clones of the same variety. Pinot is one of the oldest grapes therefore the presence of biotypes, which over the centuries have differentiated due to spontaneous mutations, is not surprising. Pinot is most likely a grape domesticated in very ancient times in the central eastern area of France and still today has its cradle of choice in Burgundy.

Among the three varieties, pinot gris is certainly the most widespread in Italy, especially in the Triveneto area. The grape skin has a beautiful pink color and also the wine can be straw yellow or slightly coppery if there has been a brief contact with the skins during the vinification.

Its great international success is due to the fruity, rich and seductive bouquet, to its balanced gustatory softness, which expresses great harmony on the palate with an always moderate acidity.

Alsace is a wine-growing region located in the north-eastern part of France, between the Vosges mountains and the border with Germany, marked by the Rhine river. The presence of the Vosges mountain range contributes decisively to defining the climatic characteristics, protecting the area from the winds coming from the west and reducing the rainy phenomena. Alsace differs from the other areas of France for a ubiquitous German culture that comes to dictate the architectural styles and even influence the production of wine itself. It is therefore not surprising that mostly white wines are produced with grape varieties such as Riesling or Gewürztraminer in the center.

Here, the Pinot Grigio, which in other French regions is relegated to blending varieties, takes on a noble and important connotation. There is also a share of sweet wines that differ in sugar residue and of which the highest quality is emphasized through the mentions Vendanges Tardives and Selection de Grains Nobles.
