Pinot Gris in French, or also known as Pinot Grigio in Italian, is a mutation of [Pinot Noir](https://www.winetourism.com/pinot-noir/) \- it is a grape with few tannins and medium acidity. No matter where the grapes are grown, in Pinot Gris wines you will find flavors of citrus, green apple, and white peach. The high acidity in Pinot Gris makes it even drier than [Chardonnay](https://www.winetourism.com/chardonnay/).

[![Pinot Gris Grape Profile](https://img.winetourism.com/jlQbYuEFS40/fn:pinot-gris-grape-profile/rs:fill:30:0:1/g:sm/bG9jYWw6Ly8vMjAy/Mi8wMi9waW5vdF9n/cmlzX2dyYXBlX3By/b2ZpbGU2MjE3OWY5/YWI2OTc4LnBuZw/pinot-gris-grape-profile.png)](/files/2022/02/pinot_gris_grape_profile62179f9ab6978.png)

### Where is Pinot Gris from?

Nowadays Pinot Gris is planted in plenty of countries. In the Old World, it is widely grown in [France](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-country/france/), [Australia](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-country/australia/), and [Germany](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-country/germany/). In the New World, the grape is found in such countries as the [United States](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-country/usa/), [Chile](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-country/chile/), and [Argentina](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-country/argentina/). Pinot Gris wines from the New World have lower acidity comparing to those from the Old World. In [Italy](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-country/italy/), for example, grapes are harvested earlier to preserve the acidity.

### Interesting story about Pinot Gris

Like Riesling, [Gewürztraminer](https://www.winetourism.com/gewurztraminer/), and Moscatel, Pinot Gris is also considered a "noble grape" from [Alsace](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-region/alsace/). First information of the grape appeared during Middle Ages in the [Burgundy](https://www.winetourism.com/wine-region/burgundy/) region of France. The grape was known at that time under the name _Fromenteau_.

### Pinot Gris grape characteristics

Pinot Gris, a versatile white grape variety, is admired for its robust character and a flavor profile that varies based on the ripeness of the harvested grapes. At its core, Pinot Gris typically showcases a full-bodied texture, complemented by an intriguing balance of freshness and spiciness. It often unveils aromatic notes of tropical fruits like mango and pineapple when the grapes are riper, and subtle hints of stone fruits or citrus when they're picked earlier, resulting in a more acidic wine. Though the majority of Pinot Gris wines are dry, certain regions like Alsace occasionally produce a more luscious, sweet version that is equally valued. Regardless of its style, Pinot Gris is recognized for its delightful complexity and adaptability, making it a favorite among wine enthusiasts.

Like Pinot Noir, this grape variety benefits from medium-high altitudes, with well-drained soil and generous amounts of nutrients. A lot of sunshine and low temperatures are beneficial for its maturation - it results in a good concentration of flavors at the time of harvest.

### Pinot Gris Wines

Pinot Grigio wines are usually produced in several styles: dry white, rosé, and sparkling wines. Pinot Grigio is described as a dry wine with light body and medium acidity. In some regions of Italy it is used to make sparkling wines such as Prosecco. In addition, use of Pinot Gris is permitted in production of Gran Cru wines from Alsace.
