Pinot Gris
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.
