When Piccoli arrived in Canada, he had never made icewine, and dreaded going to harvest that year. “It was so cold I thought I might
perish,” he says. So no one was more shocked
when his first icewine—the 2005 Vidal—won
a Grand Gold at a major wine competition in Italy. Its successor is beautifully done, as well. Richly flavoured with papaya, orange, lemon
and honey, it’s a masterpiece of elegance. Perhaps more than other wines, it shows off
his gentle touch. Vintages. LCBO 594010
