The 2024 MDI Picolit is a beautifully aromatic and delicately luscious dessert wine inspired by one of Friuli’s most treasured varieties, balancing richness with remarkable freshness and finesse. Crafted in a refined modern style, the wine highlights Picolit’s naturally concentrated fruit and floral elegance while maintaining vibrant acidity and purity. The nose opens with apricot, candied citrus and ripe peach layered alongside orange blossom, honey, dried pear and delicate spice. There’s an exotic floral lift and subtle marmalade complexity that gives the wine impressive depth and sophistication.
On the palate, it is luscious yet beautifully poised, with silky texture, concentrated stone fruit flavours and refreshing natural acidity providing perfect balance. Notes of honeyed citrus, apricot and baked pear are complemented by gentle spice, floral nuance and a clean, persistent finish that avoids any heaviness. Richly flavoured yet elegant in style, the wine feels vibrant, polished and wonderfully harmonious.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 MDI Picolit is a superbly elegant dessert wine — floral, silky and beautifully balanced between sweetness and freshness. Perfect with blue cheese, fruit tarts, almond pastries, panna cotta or simply enjoyed chilled on its own. Enjoy now through 2038+.
