MEROI 2015 PICOLIT 500ML

Meroi says it takes about 10 plants to make a 500ml bottle of this sweet Picolit. Often made in a dry, or off-dry style, we believe the very best Picolit is made as a dessert wine. Moreover, with respect to the handful of producers in Colli Orientali who make this style of wine, we believe Paolo Meroi’s may just be the best on the planet. Like Vin Santo, the grapes are picked by hand in October when affected by Botrytis, then dried until December. A naturally very sweet, full bodied varietal, Picolit has terrific acidity despite its sweetness. Never cloying, its aromas are of candied apricots, almonds, and vanilla. Will age for 30+ years.
