La Roncaia 2004 Picolit (Colli Orientali del Friuli)

Country: Italy /
Variety: Picolit Northeastern Italy
Winery: La Roncaia / Colli Orientali del Friuli

La Roncaia’s Picolit exhibits a very distinctive style. The wine is thick and dark amber in color and has rich, almost brooding notes of toast, pine resin, molasses and burnt caramel. It’s definitely on the extracted, syrupy side and might pair better with Roquefort or aged cheese than it would with dessert.
