Picolit
DESCRIPTION
This is Friuli's noblest wine.
Its origins are still shrouded in mystery, and it is only since 1750, thanks to the writings of Count Fabio Asquini, that we have precise documentation of the 'nectar produced
by the sparse berries of the bunch'.
The peculiarity of this curious and delicate vine is in fact the partial fertilisation of the flower, which determines the growth of very few and concentrated berries per bunch.
A complex wine, old gold in colour, it harmonises sweet and acidulous sensations, releasing an enveloping aroma of candied fruit, vanilla and wild flowers. Historically the
wine of the great European nobility, it is considered a 'meditation wine' of great prestige.

Taste: complex, sweet, articulated, with balanced tension between acidity and sugars. Persistent aftertaste with aromatic sensations in line with the aromas.
Pairings: Superb as a 'meditation' wine. An ideal partner to full-flavoured, piquant and blue cheeses. Excellent with foie gras. Goes well with dry pastries and fruit
desserts.
