What is the appropriate service temperature range for Pinot Grigio?

The appropriate service temperature range for Pinot Grigio is generally recommended to be between 7-10ᵒC (45-50ᵒF). Serving Pinot Grigio within this range is critical for maximizing its characteristics, as this white wine typically showcases refreshing acidity and fruity flavors that are best preserved at these temperatures. At this range, the wine can present its aromas effectively without being too cold, which could mute the flavors, or too warm, which could enhance undesired elements.

This temperature range allows the bright notes of apple, pear, and citrus to shine through, enhancing the overall drinking experience. Different styles of Pinot Grigio may have slight variations in optimal serving temperatures, but the 7-10ᵒC range is widely recognized as ideal in both casual and formal settings.
