Tocai Friulano


Known today as just Friulano, just a few years back the European Union decided that Italy’s varietal called Tocai would need to change it's name due to some confusion with Hungary’s grape/sweet wine/designation Tokaji.
The Tocai we know from Friuli produces a light and fragrant white wine that has a lot of citrus and tropical fruit flavors.  This grape really captures the soils that it is grown in, mimicking it with a refreshing minerality.  I highly recommend this wine for pick nicks.
