Producer: A.A Banear Grape: Picolit Pron: pee-col-lit Region: Friuli Zone: DOC of Colli Orientali
The DOC of Colli Orientali just north of Gorizia provides some of Italy’s best whites. The Banear vineyards here enjoy the combination of aspect and lean, stony and limestone soils. The unique Picolit is mainly suited to make a sweeter wine, with an almost dry a zippy finish. It’s a good desert wine…but an even better wine for aged, sharp and blue cheeses.
