Friulano, Blend di Tocai Friulano
The grape that we now call Friulano was known by the name of tocai before the European Court of Justice banned its use with a 2005 ruling, to avoid confusion with the Hungarian Tokaji wine, produced with the furmint grape. In reality, the original name of the Friulian grape is Sauvignonasse and it is a French variety originating from the Bordeaux area, imported into Italy during the 19th century. The resulting wine has good body, is harmonious, with floral and fruity aromas and a finish with a slightly almond note. Today it is grown mainly in Friuli Venezia Giulia and in some areas of the Veneto.
