A Christmas Eve tasting of another favorite white wine. A simple white staple. Note the bottle image is of the old label. No longer says Tocai.
EXPERIENCE
No cork, screw top. Earthy, funky nose. Pale yellow in color. Light and crisp with a pleasantly muted finish. A little pear with a the finish being slightly peppery. Becomes more full bodied as it warms and opens up.
VERDICT
GOOD AND CHEAP. The 2007 Bastianich Friulano cost right around $13, it is one of the best bang for your buck and enjoyable whites available. This is another white to enjoy if one is a red lover.
FACTS
This wine is 100% Friulano, classified DOC, and comes from Friuli. This wine was formerly known as Tocai. Produced in the Colli Orientali area of Friuli. More info on the Bastianich site... http://www.bastianich.com/
