The vineyard and the vine

Jesera

Also known as Pinot Gris and originating from Alsace, it has then spread across the globe and is now considered an "international" grape variety. As the leading white still wine in terms of export volumes, Italy holds the world's largest production of Pinot Grigio in terms of vineyard hectares, primarily situated in the Triveneto region. Pinot Grigio likely originated from a genetic mutation of the esteemed Pinot Noir, resulting in a variation in berry color. Despite its widespread cultivation, few are aware that Pinot Grigio is a gray-skinned grape, meaning its berries have a gray-pink color tending toward violet. Thus, with a slight skin maceration, the resulting wine showcases delightful coppery hues.
