Who makes Kirkland Signature Friuli Grave Pinot Grigio (Italy)?
No reliable public evidence identifies the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Friuli Grave Pinot Grigio (Italy) as of July 5, 2026.
The common claim
What most answers say — and what the evidence supports
Costco's back label names only the US importer, Misa Imports Inc., not a winery, so the producer of the Kirkland Signature Friuli Grave Pinot Grigio is not disclosed. The name that circulates most is Casa Vinicola Botter (Botter S.p.A), the large Veneto wine house — a plausible candidate, since Botter is a major Italian private-label bottler and US import records show it ships wine to Misa Imports, the importer printed on this label. But no back-label bottler statement, TTB label registration, or shipment record ties Botter to this specific Kirkland wine, and one wine explainer notes the winery 'is not disclosed,' so no reliable public evidence identifies the producer.

US import/customs manifests (importinfo.com, consignee Misa Imports Inc.) July 5, 2026
Misa Imports receives wine shipments from Botter Spa (Italy), but the visible manifest descriptions are generic HS-code categories (e.g. 'WINE (NOT SPARKLING)…') with no mention of Pinot Grigio, Friuli, Kirkland, or Costco. Data is paywalled and not SKU-specific — it shows a supplier relationship, not that Botter makes this wine.
TTB COLA Public Registry (ttbonline.gov) July 5, 2026
Bot-blocked; not searchable via automation. The Certificate of Label Approval for this SKU would name the importer and the foreign producer/bottler — flagged for a browser follow-up.

No archived Costco product page found for this wine; Costco does not sell wine online in most states, so the mfName / manufacturername facet is unavailable.
