But to say pinot gris and pinot grigio are identical wines would be misleading.Īccording to winemaker Peter Zemmer, not all pinot grigio is the same. But this cherished grape variety is also a bit of a chameleon-going by other names in other places around the world like malvoisie and pinot gris. And they do make some pretty fantastic pinot grigio.

Pinot grigio is perhaps best known as the standard-bearer white wine of Italy.
