The world would be a better place if there was more Picolit in it. Rarity is exactly what makes this wine so precious. The 2013 Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit (packaged in a 375-milliliter bottle) pours from the bottle with brilliant golden hues. Thanks to its evident consistency and residual sugar, this dessert wine sits in the glass with importance and confidence. The bouquet releases thick tones of honey, orchard fruit and sugar-glazed almond. However, that sweetness is never sticky or cloying. Instead, the wine is bursting with energy, focus and drive.
