Danzante Pinot Grigio
The Grape A relative of Pinot Noir, the white wine Pinot Grigio gets its name from the grayish-purple color of its grape ("grigio" means gray in Italian). The variety was first planted in Burgundy during the Middle Ages, then in other areas of France and Hungary during the time of Charles IV. Pinot Grigio finally arrived in Italy during the 1800's where, today, the grape is cultivated all over the country.
Regional Notes
Danzante Pinot Grigio is source from Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto, and Friuli Venezia Giulia, the three northeastern regions of Italy collectively known as the "Tre Venezie". With its relatively high altitude, cool summers and warm currents from the Adriatic Sea, this region allows Pinot Grigio to fully express its potential resulting in a wine that reveals intense perfumes and silky texture.
