Pinot Grigio

A grape variety of French origin, from Burgundy to be exact. It is believed to be of very ancient origin, since its cultivation can be traced back to Roman times. In the early 19th century, it spread to the Piedmont region and then to the rest of northern Italy, finding particularly favourable environmental conditions in Friuli. On the market, we can find it vinified as white or more rarely with light maceration on the skins to produce a copper-coloured wine.
