Friulano (aka Tocai Friulano) is a white wine grape predominantly grown in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of Italy.
Friulano is primarily grown in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in northwest Italy, particularly in the Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli areas.
The Friuli region's climate is influenced by the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, providing a balance of warm days and cool nights, which helps preserve the grape's acidity and aromatic qualities.
Friulano thrives in a variety of soils, including marl and sandstone, which contribute to the wine's complexity and minerality.
Friulano is known for producing fresh, aromatic white wines with a distinctive character that reflects the unique terroir of Friuli.
The flavors include wild flowers, yellow apple, peach and tropical fruit, often with a distinctive almond or marzipan note, accompanied by a hint of herbs and minerals:
