SHV Tocai Friulano

SHV Tocai Friulano Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: This is our third year of producing Tocai Friulano from eighty-year-old vines at Larkmead Vineyards, owned by Cam and Kate Baker. We've discovered that this wine develops nicely with a bit of age; the 2000 vintage has mellowed beautifully. So our advice to you is to drink half the case now and enjoy the light, crisp, fresh, fruity qualities of a new wine. Then cellar the other half for a year or two and enjoy a still fruity but smoother, more mellow wine. We would characterize the aromas and flavors as reminiscent of peaches, the skins of plums and grapes, and honeysuckle. The mouth feel is a bit tart as a result of good acid content. Mike Chelini suggests we drink the Tocai Friulano with salty dried meats such as coppa and prosciutto with melon.
