Aristocratic! The whole world considers Picolit to be "la Regina delle Grappe" because of its character, harmony and the emotions it evokes with every sip. Pure and crystalline, on the nose it evokes full honeycombs, acacia flowers, ripe quince, fresh Moscato and freshly picked figs. In the mouth, the sensations of the nose are confirmed with the additional taste of bread crust. Very persistent aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE
Bottled by hand in mouth-blown bottles with silver stoppers. The fill level may vary, as each bottle is unique.
" ... showing hints of delicate grape perfume; the middle stage nosing passes offer elegant, but deceptively powerful aromas of grapes, tropical fruit (pineapple especially), and pomace; the last sniffing displays the layered, concentrated, and focused aromatic features of great grappa as the grapiness harmonizes with the alcohol ... a textbook grappa aroma thats different than anything I've experienced ..." Paul Pacult
"Typical spiciness in the aroma picture, coffee and cocoa, forest floor, grassy-fir needles, vinous, compact, but rather restrained. Resinous on the palate, very spicy, transparent, consistent, very dry, the alcohol very well integrated, coffee on the finish; an athlete."
