Description

This wine, called Picolit, has been deemed the "wine of meditation" by Veronelli. Its rediscovery is credited to the Perusini Family, who cultivated and selected it on the Colli Orientali and introduced it to the world beyond Friuli.

Picolit has a beautiful intense golden yellow colour and a complex aroma of orange peel, apricot, fig, candied fruits, citrus, acacia, and spice. On the palate, it is sweet, balanced, and articulate.

Picolit can be enjoyed on its own after a meal or paired with pate or blue cheese, similar to Sauternes. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 14-16°C.

Perusini Wines

The Perusini family are strong believers in cultivating native grape varieties that surpass the norm and create beauty and notes that connote their place of origin. Their success began when they rediscovered the noble ancient vine of Friuli, the Picolit. They were the first to select and cultivate it on the Colli Orientali and the first to introduce it to the rest of the world. Perusini strive to grow their vineyards as sustainably as possible by focussing on organic principles.
