Picolit 

Picolit is considered a gem of Italian wine. Probably, the origin of its name comes from the low production of its berries and grapes, or according to other versions, the small size of its grapes. This wine is always very valuable, just think that its production, even today, not exceeding in the whole Friuli 900 hectoliters. This is due to the fact that the Picolit bunch produces very few and sparse berries, about 10-15 berries per bunch.
Precisely for this reason has always had an image of great exclusivity, becoming in the past centuries the wine par excellence for the big events that delighted the palates of Princes and Popes. Carlo Goldoni called it the gem of Friuli wine brighter.
