| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | A full-bodied dry white wine, this wine will soon have to be produced without the use of the word “Tocai” as the Hungarian wine producers have successfully gotten the European Union to reserve that term for its superb legendary sweet wine. The grape will be called simply “Friulano” in the future, as it’s grown in the northeastern provinces of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia. As this wine matures in the bottle, its color deepens to a medium gold, and its fruit becomes a medley of yellow stone fruits that have been allowed to dry and deepen in flavor. On the nose, aromas of dried yellow stone fruits—apricots especially—pick up a hint of wet straw and spice. A complex, deeply flavored palate of yellow fruits adds a certain stony minerality. Serve just moderately cool, about 60ºF/15ºC, in tulip-shaped glasses. Foods: potato gnocchi with garlic, herbs and cream sauce; pasta with smoked mozzarella, garlic and olive oil; chicken salad with yellow fruits; sautéed full-bodied fish (fresh cod, halibut) with olive oil and garlic; baked scallops with piped mashed potatoes; rich but mild semi-firm cheeses, such as Caccio di Roma.
