A guided exploration of Pinot Grigio
Discover what Pinot Grigio can really do
Pinot Grigio is often chosen for refreshment, but this collection reveals how much more the grape has to offer. Cantina di Gambellara brings blossom, green apple and yellow peach from Veneto, while Cantina Puiatti shows the depth and elegance possible in the distinctive microclimate of Friuli Venezia Giulia. High-altitude vineyards give Franz Haas greater aromatic complexity and length in Alto Adige, and hand-picked fruit lends Gašper a silky, citrus-edged richness just across the border in Slovenia. Marlborough completes the journey in a more rounded Pinot Gris style: Snapper Rock is dry yet generous with apricot and tropical fruit, while Tinpot Hut layers pear, stone fruit, spice and vibrant acidity. Together, these wines make comparison easy, food matching flexible and every glass an opportunity to discover a new side of a much-loved grape.

Why Pinot Grigio lovers will enjoy this journey
This is a chance to taste place as well as grape. Franz Haas draws aromatic intensity and elegant length from high-altitude Alto Adige vineyards, while Tinpot Hut gives Marlborough Pinot Gris a rounded texture, fragrant spice and mouthwatering acidity. Between them, Gašper's hand-picked Slovenian fruit and Cantina Puiatti's slow-ripening Friulian setting make the contrasts especially rewarding.
- Franz Haas reveals Pinot Grigio's serious side: high-altitude vineyards and a longer growing season bring floral fragrance, almond complexity, purity and length.
- Gašper offers a fascinating cross-border perspective from Slovenia's Goriška Brda, combining carefully hand-picked fruit with silky richness, citrus freshness and an aromatic hint of cinnamon.
- Snapper Rock and Tinpot Hut show why Marlborough Pinot Gris is worth discovering, moving from dry apricot and tropical fruit to rounded pear, spice, brioche and vibrant acidity.
A brilliant way to discover how expressive Pinot Grigio can be, from crisp northern Italian elegance to silky Slovenian richness and aromatic Marlborough Pinot Gris.
