Grape Profile: Pinot Grigio, also known as Pinot Gris in other regions, is a white grape variety that is a genetic mutation of the Pinot Noir grape. It is a white grape variety known for producing light, crisp, and aromatic wines.
Region Profile: The Alto Adige wine region is known for its cool alpine‑influenced climate, diurnal temperature variation, and high-lying vineyards. The area around Caldaro/Kaltern benefits from the moderating influence of nearby lakes (e.g. Lake Caldaro) and the Dolomitic foothills, helping to balance ripening: warm days, cool nights.
