A mutation of Pinot Nero (Noir,) Pinot Grigio as a varietal tends to prefer cool climates and clay limestone soil. Pinot Grigio's elegant, subtle straw yellow color may present onionskin highlights, and the characteristic varietal fragrances are reminiscent of acacia blossom and toasted almonds. On the palate, it is fresh tasting and supple. The full flavored palate is dry with a faint bitter twist. This wine is perfect with pasta or rice in tomato based sauces, grilled fish, white meats and moderately mature cheeses.
Tenacious and strong-willed as the bears (orso) the family takes its name from, the Orsaria family has been crafting fine wines from the alluvial soil of the Colli Orientali Friuli, far in the eastern reaches of Italy. The bears have since moved on, as the woods they inhabited have been cleared for viticulture. The Orsarias work with both native and international varieties (notably Cabernet Franc) on their estate.
