Soiul pinot gris și gama de clone pe plan mondial

Abstract

Pinot Gris is a white wine variety that originated in the Alsace region, France, but is grown in many other wine regions around the world, including Italy, Germany, New Zealand, the United States, and others. Pinot Gris wines are known for a wide range of aromas and tastes, depending on the region where it is grown and processed. Alsace wines are typically full-bodied and have aromas of yellow and tropical fruits, peaches, apricots and pineapples, with moderate acidity and a long finish. Italian Pinot Grigio wines are usually lighter and more subtle, with aromas of pears and green apples, with higher acidity. New Zealand wines have flavors of tropical fruit, high acidity and fresh. The Pinot Gris variety is often used to produce dry white wines, but it can also be used to produce sweet or semi-dry wines. Pinot Gris can also be blended with other grape varieties to produce complex wines. Pinot Gris wines are usually paired with fish, seafood, chicken and Asian dishes, as well as soft and white rind cheeses. Pinot Gris wines are also ideal to be enjoyed as aperitifs or with a light and pleasant meal.
