Picolit





Historically this varietal was typically planted on poor infertile soil thus creating smaller yields.  With a combined sensitivity to rot and disease floral abortion is very common giving this grape it’s name piccolo  (for small).  This varietal is very fragile and typically will create irregular bunches where you might find on average 10 to 15 grapes per bunch. 
Picolit makes a high viscosity wine with flavors of stone fruits, dried apricots, apples, and pears.
