Meroi, Tocai Friulano D.O.C.
(toh-KAI free-ooh-LAH-no)

 

Tasting Notes: Meroi’s Tocai is a deftly made classic, barrel-fermented, with an appealing oily texture that fills and lingers in the mouth. It has notes of warm pears, sweet green grass, and grape rind. Remarkably fresh and with plenty of bright fruits, it is rich, full-bodied, and generous without losing its structure or becoming too creamy. Tocai is Friuli’s most important white varietal, and this is one of the finest we have ever tried.
