Varietal: Tocai Friulano
The Tocai Fruiliano grape has been grown in and around the northern Italian region of Friulia for centuries, where it remains the most widely cultivated varietal and is deeply entrenched in the local wine culture. There have been successful planting of Tocai Fruiliano in the New World, also, as it grows in many places where the climatic conditions are just right, and thrives well on dry and sunny hillsides. Tocai Fruiliano has long been thought to be a relative of Hungary's Tokaji grape, and the Tokay d'Alsace grape of France, but recent scientific research has proven this to be false. In actual fact, the Tocai Fruiliano is none other than the Sauvignon Vert varietal, which is a grape grown in many parts of Europe. Wines made from the Tocai Fruiliano are generally straw yellow in color, and packed full of citrus flavors They are most easily recognizable by their strong bouquet of wild flowers.
Region: Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Situated in the north of Italy, between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Friuli-Venezia Giulia is a fascinating and ancient wine region which is only just being discovered by the international wine audiences, keen to uncover more lesser known gems of Italy. Because Friuli-Venezia Giulia is so close to the Austrian and Slovenian borders, the wines there display a distinctly Germanic character, and typically Germanic grape varietals such as Riesling grow extremely well there, and capture much of their stunning alpine terroir. As such, alpine freshness, crystal clear mountain water and beautifully dry and crisp notes are what Friuli-Venezia Giulia's wines are most renowned for, and the Riesling, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio wines of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, made by small, dedicated and traditional wineries, are considered amongst the finest in the world.
Country: Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
