This is what good wine from the Picolit grape tastes like

The white Picolit grows in the Italian region of Friuli. Special, exclusive dessert wines have been pressed from this exclusive grape for centuries.

Check out our wine made from Picolit grapes

Picolit is an ancient grape variety that caused a sensation throughout Europe as early as the eighteenth century. Sweet wines—which were highly sought after at the time—were shipped from Friuli in Northern Italy to royal courts across the continent.

In the twentieth century, Picolit was nearly extinct due to phylloxera. But over the course of the century, it recovered thanks to a few passionate winemakers.

Wine made from Picolit is normally sweet. Winemakers dry the grapes slightly before pressing, or they leave them on the vine longer. There is one exception: Livon Winery blends some Picolit into their famous dry Braide Alte wine.

Today, there are fewer than 100 hectares of vineyards planted with Picolit. That still makes the wine very exclusive. So enjoy it when a bottle of Picolit dessert wine suddenly appears on the table!
