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.

Limited production in terms of quantity, but a great variety of territories and wines. This is what characterizes the winemaking reality of Lombardy, which presents very different productions thanks to a remarkable heterogeneity of the environments, from the mountains to the hills, from the plains to the lakes.

From the great reds of Valtellina to the sparkling wines of Franciacorta and Oltrepò, Lombardy is home to nationally renowned appellations and smaller lesser-known appellations. In this region national and international grapes coexist, giving life to wine products more or less linked to the territory, but always united by a great quality.
