TASTING NOTES

Vivid golden yellow developing into an almost amber colour after a few years of aging. Its luminance and clarity radiate preciousness. A generous and delicate bouquet of exceptional elegance, evoking honeycomb dripping with wildflower honey, ripe fruit, peach and apricot jam, and figs. The palate is sweet but not sugary, aristocratic, warm, velvety and refined. A striking ample bouquet and taste with a lingering persistence makes this wine gentle, delicate and distinctly feminine, bearing an elegant beauty to be discovered with no rush.

PAIRING SUGGESTION

This meditation wine par excellence is rather difficult to match with food. It is a good accompaniment for small custards and pâté de foie gras, but, as they say in Friuli: “Picolit is just Picolit”. To be enjoyed on its own, with nothing else but a devout attention in an intimate conversation between the wine and the senses of sight, smell and taste.
