Picolit Colli Orientali is vinified with grapes left to dry naturally on the vine thanks to the action of botrytis. The vineyards surrounded by woods stand on the Riu Falcon hills at an altitude between 175 and 300 meters on soil rich in marl and sandstone.
Picolit is among the oldest indigenous grape varieties in Italy, first documented in the 12th century, and in 1682 it was one of the wines served at the wedding banquet of the doge of Venice. The name Picolit derives from the very sparse clusters with very few berries; this characteristic is due to a genetic defect that causes the flowers not to develop due to the partial sterility of the male pollen, probably due to the domestication of the vine. According to another theory, the name comes from "pecol," meaning "hilltop," as Picolit grows best in sunny areas in a slightly warm microclimate. It is characterized by small, cylindrical conical clusters with very small, slightly oval berries and a pale, translucent yellow color. It grows almost exclusively near Udine and Gorizia, is very susceptible to downy mildew and powdery mildew, and has great vigor but develops mainly buds rather than clusters.
