The Wine Box Pinot Grigio Italiano is a collection of wine that is highly relevant, offering a tasting itinerary in 6 stages to explore different interpretations of this fascinating grape variety, which is achieving extraordinary success internationally, particularly in the U.S. market. Enthusiasts especially appreciate its soft and seductive character, the wide and enveloping sip, and the rich and intense fruity aromas. It is a harmonious and satisfying white, which also possesses remarkable versatility at the table. The simpler and lighter versions are perfect for an aperitif or to accompany appetizers. The more structured wines are ideal paired with seafood pasta dishes or with vegetables, or to accompany second courses based on fish or delicate white meats.

Belonging to the Pinot family, of which it represents a spontaneous mutation with pink skin, Pinot Grigio arrived in Italy from France during the 19th century. It has adapted very well, particularly in the northeast regions: Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Trentino.Alto-Adige, but also in the hilly area of Oltrepò Pavese, together with its "brother" Pinot Nero. Its aromatic richness and rather low natural acidity require, in fact, territories characterized by a rather cool climate, so that the grapes can reach maturity with a good balance between their components, without excessive sugary and alcoholic softness, which tend to make the wines a bit flat and heavy. In its best expressions, it is characterized by the presence of floral scents, rich aromas of white-fleshed fruit, citrus hints, and delicate spicy nuances. Wide and smooth, it leads to a long and persistent finish.
