Grillo 2005 Picolit (Colli Orientali del Friuli)
Elegant and subdued with linear tones and a lively mouthfeel, this refined dessert wine from northeastern Italy delivers aromas of roasted nut, apricot, lemon soda and a touch of peppermint powder. It has a high mineral content, which makes for an interesting contrast next to the wine’s natural sweetness.
