History Grape Pinot Grain is probably a genetic mutation of the Black Pinot. The introduction to Italy is due to a Piedmontese producer who started cultivating in Avenida and Cuneo around 1820. Like the white pinot, also the pinot gray originates from the geminar mutation of the pinot black, to which it is genetically close.

The scent is intense and fruity, sometimes delicately floral, with a taste with clear notes of freshness and alcoholicity, good softness and texture, which make it suitable for sparkling.
