Tocai Friulano is Friuli's signature white grape and produces some of the finest whites in Italy (labelled simply as Friulano to avoid confusion with Hungarian Tokay). This is a really good and affordable example.
Production
The grapes are cultivated in the hills of eastern Friuli Venezia Giulia, between Capriva del Friuli and Cormons. After hand-harvesting the grapes are macerated for 8 hours in stainlesss steel below 10°C. The must is then racked, clarified, and fermentation takes place using selected yeasts, and remains on the lees for at least 3 months.
