Pinot Grigio, a variant of the Pinot Noir, is a grape used to create a dry-white wine. When harvested fully ripe, Pinot Grigio will have a less acidic taste. Flavors range from tangy to full bodied depending on the ripeness of the grapes when harvested. Pinot Grigio is sometimes used to enhance the flavor of Pinot Noirs.http://www.winepros.org/wine101/grape_profiles/pinot_gris.htm These types of wines can vary greatly in taste and wine characteristics depending upon the style of wine making and the geographic region from which the grapes were grown.
