Friuli's native variety, Friulano displays apple blossom notes, along with spiced ripe pear, peach and melon fruit character. The palate is silky-textured, with subtle creaminess and vanilla, and wonderful, harmonious balance. It is immediately appealing, and yet has hidden depths, with more complexity opening up with each successive sip. Friulano used to be known as 'Tocai', but the EU put a stop to that, to prevent confusion with Hungary's Tokaj.
