Pinot Grigio
Top countries producing this wine: |
One of the most familiar grape names to any wine drinker, Pinot Grigio is the Italian name for the Pinot Gris of France, named for its pinkish-grey skin. One of the best-known mutations of Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio is much appreciated for its soft, gentle texture, light body and pleasing perfume. While Italy makes a light, crisp style, the Pinot Gris of Alsace is bolder, riper and fatter, with rich flavors that stand up to the traditional cured sausages and hearty cuisine of the region. Oregon producers, for the most part, also call their flavorful version Pinot Gris. Along with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris has become a flagship grape for this region. The body is often fuller than the Italian style, with concentrated flavors of peach, apple, lime sherbet, and almonds. |
Argentina

Argentina is the fifth-largest wine-producing country by volume in the world. Viticulture first arrived there during the Spanish colonial era, with the first vineyard established in the 1550s. But until recently, almost all of the wine produced in Argentina was consumed within its borders. In the early 1990s, a conscientious effort was made by Argentinian viticulturists to improve quality and increase exports. Now, Argentina is starting to establish itself as a serious player in the international wine market, with a reputation for selling high quality wines at consumer-friendly prices. More than two-thirds of the wine produced in Argentina comes from the Mendoza region, situated in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Here you'll find some of the world’s finest Malbecs, which has become Argentina's signature grape over the past 15–20 years. Other prominent growing regions include San Juan and La Rioja, which are located further north. |
