History of Pinot Grigio Day

According to Checkiday, Pinot Grigio Day was founded by Cavit and was first celebrated on May 26, 2017. And since 2018, it has been observed annually on May 17. Cavit, founded in 1957 in Trentino, Italy, is a winemaking company committed to sustainability. Cavit is best known for its pinot grigio — celebrated as America’s number one pinot grigio. Cavit’s pinot grigio is described as white wine with light, refreshing flavors of citrus and green apple, which is perfectly suitable with pasta in cream sauces, risottos, veal, chicken, and fresh seafood dishes.

Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris is a variety of white wine grape that originated in France. While in Italy, people call it Pinot grigio. Pinot Gris, like pinot blanc, is a color mutation of pinot noir. The pinot gris grapes produce wines that range in color, from a deep golden yellow to copper and a light shade of pink. Pinot grigio and pinot Gris wines are categorized based on which style they are made in, the Italian or the French. Furthermore, both pinot grigio and Pinot Girs have different flavor profiles.

The pinot grigio is the most popular of the two wines. It’s light-bodied, crisp, clean, and vibrant with citrus flavors. On the other hand, pinot gris is medium-bodied and sweet with spicy tropical fruit aromas. It commonly has low acidity, high alcohol levels, and an oily texture. When it comes to food pairing, both have their own. While pinot grigio is great for the food we mentioned before, pinot gris is excellent for spicy food, heavier and flavorful dishes, and spicy aromas because of its sweetness. However, you ultimately decide how to use these two wines on Pinot Grigio Day. But we’re sure whichever you choose will enhance your dish to the next level!
