Pinot Grigio
At The Wine Buff, we are proud to offer a great selection of Pinot Grigio white wines. These wines will make any occasion special.
Pinot Grigio (sometimes know as Pinot Gris) white wines from the Friuli region in Italy are known for their refreshing and crisp character, making them an ideal choice for both casual sipping and enjoying with a variety of dishes.
Pinot Grigio wine is normally a light-bodied, high-acidic, delicate white wine, although the top producers turn out wines that have more of everything: more intense aromas, flavour, and weight - no Pinot Grigio is ever as rich and full-bodied as a Pinot Gris, the French wine made with the same grape.
Pinot Grigio with Seafood is a particularly good match for lighter dishes, avoiding meaty fish like tuna, or lobster dishes with heavy sauces. Crab or shrimp salad is a great choice, as are grilled halibut, poached salmon, sushi or calamari. If you’re a fan of shellfish, freshly-caught oysters and seared scallops also pair beautifully with a crisp bottle of pinot.
Pinot Grigio with Food
Pinot Grigio’s neutral qualities also make it the perfect accompaniment for earthy garden salads and fresh summer vegetables. It works well with crunchy crudités, vegetable antipasto, and risotto dishes..
