Ego Pinot Grigio
A little bit of history…
Pinot grigio, (a mutant clone of the Pinot Nero variety) is one of the “trendiest” Italian wines. It is such a successful wine grape variety that its plantations spread from Veneto to Friuli and Alto Adige. And this fame has helped Pinot Grigio score an incredible improvement both in the quality of the product and in its sales.
