Gorgeous and intense with beautifully seductive aromas of honey, marzipan, peach, dried fruit and honey, this is textbook Picolit (a little-known dessert wine from northeastern Italy). The wine has perfect density and extraction and is simply extraordinary overall. Drink it by itself.

There’s an element of candied fruit and butterscotch that defines this luscious Picolit dessert wine. It opens with a deep amber color, syrupy sweetness and a very long finish accented by pine resin and maple syrup.

Here is a saturated and bright dessert wine with a deep orange color and aromas of toasted nut, chestnut, honey, yellow rose and mature peach. These tones are rich and dense and the wine exhibits thick, chewy viscosity in the mouth.

This is a powerful wine with an intense and direct delivery of mature fruit, peach and honey and subtle shadings of chopped herbs and minerals in the background. It would make a perfect companion to roasted eggplant or spicy Asian dishes.

Here’s a Sauvignon with a bright, luminous appearance and aromas of stone fruit and Cavaillon melon. There’s a mineral vein that is picked up once more in the mouth. Overall, Jacùss delivers a fresh but consistent mouthfeel that could stand up to smoked ham and cold cuts.
