Details
Calling all Pinot Grigio lovers! This is about as crisp and classic as the Italians make their Grigio. It's light in body and refreshing on the palate with aromas of delicate white flowers and citrus and pear flavours on the palate. A sure win for fresh and clean drinking.
Origin: Burgundy, in eastern France. Mainly Grown In: Italy (as Pinot Grigio), Germany (as Grauburgunder - the local name for Pinot Gris), USA, France (as Pinot Gris). Key Facts: Drum roll please… Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are two different names for THE SAME GRAPE VARIETY. The use of Gris or Grigio depends on which country the grape was grown in and subtle stylistic differences. Pinot Grigio is the Italian version, and is typically known for being light and zesty. Where as Pinot Gris, the French version of the grape, is often richer and riper tasting with some spiciness. When made outside of Italy and France, Grigio or Gris name is used as a marker to define the style that the winemaker thinks it suits best; lean like Italian Pinot Grigio or riper and rounder like the French Pinot Gris. Fun Fact: Did you know that Pinot Grigio is one of the earlier ripening grapes? This means it's often one of the first varietals picked at harvest, and one of the first to be bottled and sold.

Pairing guide
Most sommeliers would jump at the chance to tell you that when it comes to food-friendly white wines, Pinot Grigio sits pretty high on the list of seriously good wines to match with a massive range of dishes and ingredients. This refreshing Italian take by La Vendetta is our favourite with almost any seafood dish you could think of. But It’s also got what it takes to make a great pairing for Asian takeaway classics, like Chinese lemon chicken, hot and sour soup, and also pairs really well with veggies like cauliflower and asparagus.
