Tocai Friulano
This variety gives us the wines called “Friulano” and “Tai” in Veneto. It has nothing to do with the Furmint that in Hungary is used to produce the wine Tokaj, whereas it is the equivalent of the French Sauvignonasse.

Bud-burst period: late.
Ripening period: everage.
Yield: abundant and constant. Given its natural fertility, it is not necessary to exceed in the charge of gems to obtain a quality product.
Ampelographic characters:
the variety is relatively homogeneous, the substantial differences being cluster shape, primary aromas and vigour. The bud has an expanded, golden-green, velvety apex. The medium-sized, round, three-lobed leaf is cup-shaped with wavy edges and an almost hairless underside. The closed lyre-shaped petiolar sinus shows slightly overlapping lobes. The cluster is medium-sized, elongated, truncated-pyramidal or cylindrical-pyramidal, with one or two wings, rather compact. The berry is medium-sized, spheroid with a dotted, slightly thick, pruinose, yellow or greenish-yellow coloured skin. The juicy, sweet pulp has a characteristic flavour.
Cultural aptitude:
very vigorous vine with tendentially upright-growth habit. Adaptable to different climates, provided they are not warm, it prefers well exposed hilly soils, or stony and clayey plain soils restraining the vigour, not too chlorotic or excessively humid.
Training system and pruning:
adaptable to different more-or-less expanded training systems, it prefers long pruning. It could also accept medium pruning, but not easily.
Susceptibility to diseases and adverse conditions:
average, susceptible to botrytis. Good resistance to winter and late cold weather.
Enological potential:
it produces a straw-yellow wine with greenish reflections, of delicate aroma, with a slight taste of bitter almond, scarcely acidic, alcoholic, round, for short aging.
