Pinot Noir is a type of red wine grape variety that is grown in many parts of the world. It is a thin-skinned grape, which makes it more susceptible to environmental influences and can produce wines with a wide range of flavors. PINOT Noir is often used in sparkling wines, as well as in some of the most famous red wines from Burgundy, France. It is also used in many New World wines, such as those from California and Oregon. PINOT Noir is known for its light body, earthy aromas, and bright acidity.
