A guided Pinot Grigio exploration for curious white-wine drinkers, bringing together the grape’s fresh, fruit-led character and its more textural Ramato side.

A more adventurous look at Pinot Grigio
From bright and elegant to textured and savoury
This set is for anyone who enjoys Pinot Grigio and would like to see just how expressive the grape can be. Peregrine Wines brings a dry, poised Pinot Gris from Central Otago, where the cool climate preserves freshness while a small portion of barrel fermentation adds subtle texture. Perusini takes a different path in Friuli Colli Orientali, using skin contact to create a copper-hued Ramato with gentle grip and a savoury finish. Tasted together, they offer a rewarding comparison of place and technique, with enough versatility to carry an aperitif into dinner.

Why we love this Pinot Grigio pairing
Peregrine Wines and Perusini show how much personality Pinot Grigio can carry. Peregrine captures Central Otago’s cool-climate freshness with a touch of barrel-derived texture, while Perusini’s Friulian Ramato uses skin contact to reveal a copper hue, gentle grip and savoury complexity.
- Peregrine Wines brings brightness and poise from Central Otago, with ripe fruit, refreshing acidity and subtle texture working in harmony.
- Perusini offers Pinot Grigio in the traditional Friulian Ramato style, where skin contact adds fragrance, colour and an intriguing savoury edge.
- Together they create a clear, enjoyable comparison that builds confidence in the grape’s range and offers plenty of flexibility around the table.
I love the contrast here: Peregrine is bright, elegant and beautifully fresh, while Perusini’s Ramato brings texture, spice and a wonderfully savoury finish. It is such an engaging way to rediscover Pinot Grigio.
