Description
Tocai 1966 La Friulvini is a white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, produced by La Friulvini, a winery known for preserving the region’s traditional grape varieties. The 1966 vintage represents a classic expression of Tocai (also known as Friulano), reflecting elegance, freshness, and subtle complexity developed over decades.
Tasting Notes:
The wine shows a golden-amber hue with delicate highlights along the rim, indicative of its maturity. The bouquet is refined and layered, revealing aromas of dried white flowers, almond, and ripe orchard fruits, complemented by tertiary hints of honey, soft spice, and a subtle mineral undertone. Gentle aeration enhances the wine’s depth and aromatic complexity.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with balanced acidity and a smooth, lingering finish. Notes of dried fruit, gentle almond, and delicate floral and herbal nuances persist, reflecting the wine’s evolution and the finesse of Tocai from this period.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve slightly chilled, around 10–12°C.
Pairs beautifully with delicate dishes such as white meats, fish, shellfish, risottos, soft cheeses, and lightly seasoned vegetables. Its refined complexity also allows it to be appreciated on its own as a contemplative tasting wine.
Producer:
La Friulvini is recognized for producing Tocai wines that emphasize elegance, aromatic finesse, and a distinctive sense of Friuli’s terroir. The 1966 vintage exemplifies the estate’s traditional craftsmanship and the enduring character of Friulano from this historic period.
