Friulano

Friulano, a distinguished white grape variety originating from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in northeastern Italy, embodies the essence of its terroir with grace and finesse. Formerly known as Tocai Friulano until the late 2000s to avoid confusion with Hungarian Tokaji, Friulano produces wines celebrated for their aromatic complexity, vibrant acidity, and distinctive character.

Friulano wines often display a bouquet of floral notes, ripe stone fruits, and hints of almond, with a crisp and refreshing palate. With its medium body and well-balanced acidity, Friulano pairs excellently with regional cuisine, particularly seafood, white meats, and vegetable-based dishes.

As interest in indigenous Italian grape varieties grows, Friulano stands out as a shining example of Friuli’s winemaking heritage, captivating wine enthusiasts with its unique expression and undeniable charm.
