This "absolute monarch" of wine does not require modern winemaking techniques: the late harvest in boxes is followed by a natural drying with botrytis of about 60 days until reaching the optimal natural sugar concentrations. The whole grapes, previously shelled by hand, are softly pressed and the must thus obtained is left to ferment slowly and mature in 225-liter barriques where it will remain for about two years. Only after a last right period of rest and refinement in the bottle will it be put to the consumer's judgment.

Tasting Notes

Bright golden yellow almost amber after a few years of aging. Bright and transparent, it reveals a message of preciousness. The scent has a large and delicate bouquet of exceptional elegance that recalls the honeycomb filled with honey produced with all the flowers of the fields, ripe fruit, peach and apricot jam, figs. The taste is sweet but not cloying, aristocratic, warm and velvety, refined. It is striking for the breadth of taste-olfactory sensations and for its persuading persistence. It is a gentle and delicate wine, very feminine, whose refined beauty must be discovered slowly.

Pairings

Meditation wine par excellence, it is difficult to match gastronomically. It goes well with small dry pastries or foie gras; but ... "Picolit is Picolit and that's it". It should be drunk on its own, with no company other than that of an almost religious attention, in a confidential conversation between the wine on the one hand, sight, smell and palate on the other.
