Territory and wine style

The Colli Orientali del Friuli DOCG designation and the production area of Rosazzo offer an ideal context for a wine of great personality.

The style of Picolit Colli Orientali del Friuli DOCG is that of precious and meditative wines, designed to accompany special moments and slow tastings.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents itself with an intense golden yellow, bright and enveloping. The bouquet is wide and layered: calla and white rose flowers emerge, along with notes of ginger, date, quince jam, sultana grapes, dried figs, mandarin, and more indulgent hints of English trifle and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is rich, full, and persistent, with an attack reminiscent of honey and honeycomb, followed by sensations of syrupy apricot, yellow peach, cream, and crème brûlée. The finish is elegant, with a balancing savoriness that keeps the sip lively and never cloying.

Recommended pairings

It can also accompany desserts based on dried fruit or jams, as long as they are not too sweet.
