Friulano Colli Orientali Friuli DOC Biele Zoe Cuvee 85-15 Tenimenti Civa

It was Paul Truel, a French scholar, who in 1959 put on paper the equality Tocai friulano=Sauvignonasse. The origin of Tocai is therefore French, but in Friuli it has acquired dignity and the right of citizenship, so much so that it is considered an autochthonous. Since 2007, by European law, the term Tocai cannot be indicated on the label, simply replaced by the name "Friulano"; we have lost a legal battle with Hungary. After careful cultivation and vinification, the wine is aged one part in steel on the fine lees for about 6-7 months and another in wood for about 5-6 months, a period during which the bâtonnage takes place. Before being bottled, the Friulian (ex Tocai) is lightly filtered in order to respect its integrity. Therefore, it lies in the dark and silence of the cellar before being put on the market. Not intense yellow color with greenish flashes. Fine and delicate perfume. Fruity and a hint of yellow flowers. Perfectly balanced taste. It has a nice sapidity and a pleasant characteristic almond finish.
