Picolit Friuli Collio Orientali DOCG 2013 Ronco Margherita

A wine of excellent finesse and complexity, with a surprisingly long life. A rare wine, to be savoured while thanking time for having made it so special and unique.

Fruity and flowery, and as soft as the curves of the hills it is grown on. The south south-east facing Sorì Ciabot vineyard is shaped like an amphitheatre, giving this wine the outstanding aromatic qualities and appeal that make it quite unique. Sweet, aromatic, fruity

Fermentation in temperature-controlled steel vats is followed by second fermentation for ten days at 17°C then further fermenting for about six months in autoclave on the lees. This method, known as the "Charmat lungo" method gives the wine its softness and fleshiness. The nose has a delicate bouquet with light yeasty hints. The palate is dry, fresh, well-balanced, lengthy and with a very fine bead.

Bright yellow color with green shades. Intense fruity on the nose, with scent of tropical fruit, citrus, pear and fresh spices.

On the palate it is full, well balanced with a good acidity. Fruity, mineral and mildly spicy aftertaste.

ASKOS is the name of our project of rediscovery and selection of ancient Apulian grape varieties that are almost disappearing. Wines are produced by using exclusively these indigenous varietals, cultivated in their most suitable terroirs according to the traditional method. We have chosen a Greek “Askos” (=wine jar) as a symbol of the wine making, a practice that in Puglia was started by the ancient Greeks.
