Pinot gris, or pinot grigio, is a grape variety of the
species Vitis vinifera used to make white wine. Thought to be a mutant
clone of pinot noir, it normally has a pinkish-gray hue, accounting for
its name, but the colors can vary from blue-gray to pinkish-brown. Pinot
gris thrives in cooler climates, with the major growing regions being
Alsace in France, northeastern Italy and the U.S. state of Oregon. The
wines vary greatly with these regions; for example, Alsatian pinot gris
wines are medium to full-bodied and tend to be spicy in comparison with
others.
