Livio Felluga 2004 Picolit Picolit (Colli Orientali del Friuli)

Country: Italy / Picolit
Variety: Picolit Northeastern Italy
Winery: Livio Felluga / Colli Orientali del Friuli

An intriguing, fabulous dessert wine. The aromas are complex, intense and balanced on a tightrope: mature peach, honey, wet stone, peppermint and delicate mineral nuances. Picolit is an indigenous grape that suffers from a unique disorder in which a good number of berries on each cluster never mature. The remaining berries become concentrated in rich flavor and sugar. Livio Felluga’s version is a masterpiece that ends with a fresh, menthol-driven finish and a crisp close. Pair this elegant wine with crème brûlée or a light caramel custard.
