Livio Felluga Picolit 2015
Review
Picolit, a grape native to Italy's northeastern Friuli region, is named for its inability to fully pollinate, forming only small (piccolo) bunches of concentrated white grapes. So these grapes are designated to only passito-style sweet wines. Wines made from Picolit are considered "vino da meditazione," wines not for food, but to drink and contemplate due to their complexity. And Livio Felluga knows how to coax out said complexity so well. This wine is only made in the best years, and the 2015 vintage is incredible. Almonds, apricots, and salted caramel fill the senses on the nose. It has an exceptional, focused palate that finds the optimal balance between sweetness and acidity.
