WINE DESCRIPTION

Conte d'Attimis Maniago Picolit is a rare and luxurious sweet wine from the Colli Orientali del Friuli, made from the Picolit grape. After harvest, the grapes are dried to concentrate their sugar content, resulting in a wine of remarkable richness and depth. The vineyard’s prime hillside location, with its marl and sandstone soils, enhances the natural qualities of the grape. This dessert wine is carefully crafted to preserve its delicate sweetness and complexity, offering an opulent experience that pairs beautifully with pastries or aged cheeses. Conte d'Attimis Maniago Picolit embodies the elegance of Friulian winemaking tradition.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

In the glass, Conte d'Attimis Maniago Picolit displays a beautiful golden hue, reminiscent of ripe apricots and honey.The nose is intensely aromatic, offering a bouquet of dried fruits, such as figs and raisins, along with floral notes of acacia and orange blossom. These aromas are complemented by hints of toasted almonds and a subtle touch of beeswax. On the palate, this wine showcases its luscious sweetness, balanced by a vibrant acidity that keeps it from becoming cloying. The flavors of dried apricots, honey, and candied orange peel dominate, creating a rich and indulgent experience. The mouthfeel is velvety and smooth, with a long and lingering finish that leaves a delightful impression.
