Sivi Pinot, internationally known as Pinot Gris, is a versatile white grape variety celebrated for its expressive character and adaptability. Its aromatic profile typically features delicate notes of ripe orchard fruits such as pear and apple, complemented by hints of peach, citrus, and occasional floral nuances. On the palate, Sivi Pinot wines are medium to full-bodied with a pleasing balance of fresh acidity and a subtle, rounded texture. The flavor often develops layers of stone fruit and gentle spice, sometimes with a touch of minerality on the finish.
This grape thrives in cool climate regions, with Slovenia, Italy (where it's called Pinot Grigio), Austria, and France’s Alsace being the most prominent producers. Sivi Pinot yields a wide array of styles, from crisp, refreshing and dry wines with lively structure to richer, lightly oaked versions and even lusciously sweet late-harvest offerings.
Ideal food pairings for Sivi Pinot include fresh seafood, grilled chicken, and light pasta dishes. Its balance and complexity also make it a great match for creamy risottos, mild cheeses, and vegetable-based salads, enhancing both delicate and subtly spiced flavors. Sivi Pinot offers versatility and elegance, making it a favored choice among wine enthusiasts.
