Tasting notes
Pouring forth from a precious 375-milliliter bottle, the Livio Felluga 2017 Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit faithfully offers musty aromas with dried flower, underbrush and peat moss. Aged in small oak barrels, this pretty dessert wine also shows sweet apricot, fragrant apple and a sweet floral note of hibiscus. You also get a hint of petrol or petroleum jelly. This is a very elegant dessert wine with moderate sweetness and terrific aromatic complexity.

The 2017 Picolit displays a vibrant yellow-golden color with a seductive bouquet of ripe peaches, lemon custard and confectionary spice. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness offset by sour citrus as opulent waves of tropical melon flow across a stream of zesty acidity. This finishes with fantastic length and staining yet is still remarkably fresh. Baked pear and fresh mint notes linger on. There's wonderful complexity and balance here.
