Picolit is a white wine grape variety native to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in northeast Italy. The varietal is known for producing sweet dessert wines, which are often characterized by their rich, honeyed flavors and low acidity. These wines typically have notes of apricot, almond, and orange blossom. The Picolit grape is low-yielding by nature, making wines from this varietal particularly rare and sometimes expensive. In addition to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, Picolit is also grown in parts of Slovenia and Hungary. Its wines are usually best enjoyed young, and pair well with desserts and blue cheese.
