Collection: Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio is a white grape variety that is also known under the name Pinot Gris. It is a versatile grape, which in its fresh, restrained style produces light wines with a crisp acidity balance and a low tannin level. This is precisely why it has become one of the most popular white grapes among wine lovers who appreciate a wine that is easy to approach.

At Copenhagen Wine we stock Pinot Grigio from two countries. The centre of gravity lies in Germany, where we have a wine from Ihringen. This small town lies in Baden in the far southwest, one of Germany's warmest and sunniest wine districts, where the grape ripens nicely and produces wines with both fruit and body. It is a good starting point if you want to experience what the variety can do in a Germanic interpretation.

In addition we stock a Pinot Grigio from France. The variety is grown in several places in the country, and under the French name Pinot Gris it is a well-known part of the French white wine landscape. Together the two origins offer a fine insight into the grape's range from country to country.

Pinot Grigio is a rewarding companion at the table. With its freshness it handles both the role of aperitif and that of accompaniment to lighter dishes, and it is an obvious choice if you are looking for an unpretentious white wine for everyday occasions as well as for a quiet moment with good food. If you want to get to know the variety, our selection from Germany and France is a good place to begin.
