Picolit DOCG

traditionally sweet

#classic #versatile #amabile
A wine with a Nordic character that has taken off from the beaten track of drying out the grapes at length, in the adventurous pursuit of pure territoriality. Sharp and lingering, never cloying, its power lies in the astonishing versatility that allows it to blend smoothly and appealingly with a wide range of dishes. A true classic that draws its inspiration from tradition, amabile rather than sweet.
