Friulano


Formerly known as 'Tocai Friulano' up to the 2006 vintage, whose origins date back to the early 17th century and the province of Gorizia in Friuli-Venezia-Guilia, north-eastern Italy.

Friulano is a notable white wine grape in the DOCs of Colli Orientali del Friuli, Collio, Isonzo, Grave del Friuli.  It produces restrained wines with delicate apricot, honeyed aromatics and a light-medium bodied, minerally and  almond palate, for early to medium term drinking, often complemented by oak ageing.

Miani, Canus and Lis Neris are responsible for fine examples. Interestingly, Tocai is also a synonym for Sauvignonasse or Sauvignon Vert, often erroneously labelled as 'Sauvignon Blanc' in S.America.

Compared to the more floral, flightier 'Buri', 'Filip' is clearly denser, more earnest and richer; thanks no doubt to the older vines (60 yo+). Consequently the nose is fatter with hints of marzipan, of mandarin, while the palate's spherical, a compact Clementine-rich wine, complete with pith, ... MORE

Peachier, more grasso and generous than Enzo's Tocai Friulano 'Buri', this is an arguably more complete expression of the Friulano grape, with hints of mandarin like fruit interwoven with taut minerality and dry stoniness. Drinkin now till 2016, along with dressed chicken or white ... MORE
