About Pinot grigio
Pinot Grigio is a dry white wine derived from a grayish-purple grape variety, believed to have originated in Italy, though it is also widely cultivated in France, Germany, and the United States. Known for its crisp, light flavor with notes of citrus and green apple, Pinot Grigio complements various Mediterranean and seafood-based cuisines. While alcohol is its primary macronutrient, a standard 5-ounce serving provides approximately 123 calories and 4 grams of carbohydrates, with negligible micronutrient content. Like other wines, it contains polyphenols, which are compounds associated with antioxidant properties. It is important to consume Pinot Grigio in moderation as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Health Benefits
- Contains small amounts of polyphenols, such as resveratrol, which may support cardiovascular health by improving endothelial function.
- May provide antioxidants that could help reduce oxidative stress when consumed in moderate amounts.
- Light alcohol content in moderation may promote increased HDL (good) cholesterol, supporting heart health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Pinot Grigio in a cool, dark place at a temperature of around 45–50°F (7–10°C). Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3–5 days to maintain freshness.
