Friulano Toros 2021

Toros' Friulano is produced in the Collio Friulano area, which has always been considered an ideal area for whites of sublime quality. Since the beginning of the last century, the Toros family has cultivated the land precisely located between Friuli and Slovenia, with an extension of about 10 hectares. Franco Toros is now at the helm of the family business, having inherited the passion for this world from his father Mario: always in symbiosis with nature, he has been able to find the right formula to go along with the natural rhythms of growth and development of the plants and raw material. The future is in the hands of his three daughters Eva, Cristina and Erika, who are already fully committed to the family business.

The soils where Toros' Friulano grows are affected by an uninterrupted succession of hills, exposed to the sun for most of the year, a condition that results in excellent ripening of the clusters between the rows. The climate is ideal: considerable temperature ranges between day and night, the Julian Pre-Alps chain protecting the rows from cold northern winds, for mild winters and cool summers; the soil is composed of stratified marly stone and sandstone with a good presence of minerals that excellently nourish the soil. Harvesting takes place in early September; in the cellar the clusters are gently lung-pressed; aged 7 months in steel.

The color of Toros' Friulano is a straw yellow with intense, bright reflections; the bouquet of aromas is reminiscent of almond, pineapple and ripe white-fleshed fruit such as pear and peach in union with scents of smoked wood. The palate is full, elegant and enveloping with a fresh, mineral finish that balances the overall structure. In pairing it is excellent with shellfish and mollusks in condiments for pasta dishes; also interesting with fresh cow's milk cheeses. Perfect for dinners with lifelong friends by the sea to enjoy genuine flavors of a borderland.
