The wine region of Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit
DOCG of Friuli Orientale (19 communes, ponca flysch alternating marls and calcareous sandstone, terraces 100-400 m, continental climate tempered by Adriatic and Julian Alps): exclusive Picolit (≥85%) in sweet white — signature aromas of flowers, honey and candied fruits, delicate unctuous concentration, refined bouquet of dried fruit, fresh and rich flavour, rare meditation wine. Natural floral abortion makes bunches sparse, dried grapes. DOCG since 2006.
The wine region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Italian benchmark of great whites of elegance and minerality. Emblematic Friulano with notes of fresh almond, pear and white flowers, taut Ribolla Gialla, precise Pinot Grigio, lively Sauvignon and balanced Chardonnay. Rare sweet Picolit (DOCG), saline Malvasia Istriana. Rising reds: fruity spicy Refosco, more tannic Pignolo and Schioppettino.
The word of the wine: Glycerol
Alcohol very present in wine (after ethyl alcohol) and which reinforces its unctuousness and fatty sensation.
