Wine importer Anthony Terlato was credited with introducing Pinot Grigio wines to the U.S. The Pinot Grigio grape (also known as Pinot Gris) is a pink mutation of Pinot Noir. This one from the vineyards he developed northeastern Italy is a perfect example of the wine’s appeal. Peach, pear, and lemon flavors are layered with nutty and floral notes. It is intense and complex in the mouth with crisp acidity, which will pair well with a pasta with a creamy sauce or chicken piccatta.
