Producer Notes

WINE VARIETY
Obtained 100% from Tocai friulano grape: the white wine of Collio maybe the most representative and renowned one, but since 2007 it had to give up the name in favor of Hungary, changing it in Friulano. Mentioned for the first time in the dowry agreement of 1632 of Aurora Formentini, a noblewoman of San Floriano, who brought her husband “vitti di Toccai... 300”, three centuries later (1933) Ernesto Massi
wrote “the current direction of viticulture in Gorizia tends to favor fine white grapes, such as Tocai”. It has always been present in the company, being one of the native varieties of the area.

NOSE
Intense and persistent with distinct hints of hay, almond and dried yellow flowers, closing with the memory of ripe golden apple.

TASTE
A smooth wine, but with a well balanced sapidity, which guarantees a pleasant drink, with an elegant bitterish aftertaste and an almond aftertaste.

COLOR
The color is straw yellow, bright and brilliant, with citrine reflections.

PAIRING
A wine for aperitifs, appetizers, prosciutto crudo di San Daniele and various cold cuts, soups and dry first courses. It is also a perfect match for Montasio cheese and goes well with baked or marinated fish
