At LOYALTY LIQUORS, we offer both Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio in our selection of white wines. But what is the difference? Both Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are made from the same grape, but there are a few subtle differences, such as the time of harvest and the way each grape is cultivated.
Most Pinot Grigio comes from Italy where the grapes are grown in steep mountainous areas. The mountainous areas ensure the grapes maintain the high acidic levels that give this wine its unique taste. Italian grapes are also harvested earlier. The early harvesting provides a lighter-bodied, drier and leaner flavor.
The Pinot Gris wines available at LOYALTY LIQUORS mostly come from California and other winegrowing regions of the United States. Compared to Pinot Grigio, Pinot Gris tends to have a more exaggerated fruit flavor and boasts a lower acidity levels.
