Why we love it
Friulano is a native Friuli grape, formerly known as Tocai Friuliano, a grape that can produce outstanding white wines.
This Friulano wine has an elegant, fine and delicate floral nose with the grape typical almond scent, more or less noticeable depending on the vintage. In the palate the wine is full, perfectly balanced, rich, lively with a long finish, with great structure.
Friulano wines pair perfectly creamy risotto and rich, flavourful creamy pasta or fresh cheeses.
