The 2001 Tocai Friulano is a brilliant example. Produced from low yields (by the standards of this varietal) of 31.5 hectoliters per hectare, it was barrel-fermented and aged on its lees, then kept in large French foudres before bottling. A fabulous bouquet of honeysuckle and tropical fruits is followed by a long, medium-bodied, exceptionally well-delineated and pure mid-palate and finish. It is a classic, compelling example of a top-notch, dry white from Friuli. Drink it over the next 12-18 months. This is a very serious effort from a winery that is quickly emerging as one of the finest in Friuli. Importer: Steven Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 394-0691

Superb is the 100% barrel-fermented, fruit-filled 2000 Tocai Friuliano. Extremely perfumed, with medium body, concentrated, textured flavors, outstanding purity, and impeccable balance, it should drink well for 1-2 years. Importer: Steve Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 394-0691

Readers will enjoy the outstanding 1999 Tocai Friuliano, which was barrel-fermented and aged on its lees. It exhibits explosive, honeyed fruit, crisp acidity, medium body, and an intense, long finish with plenty of pear, orange, and buttery fruit. It should drink well for several years.

Readers will adore the 1998 Tocai's tropical fruit-filled personality. This offering is a medium-bodied, fruit-filled, pure effort with nicely-layered texture, and a dry finish. This white is best drunk in its exuberant, fresh, pure youth - over the next 12 months. Importer: Steve Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 394-0691

The 1997 Tocai Friuliano is made from hillside vineyards yielding only 30 hectoliters per hectare. The uncomplicated nose offers plenty of bubble gum/banana, and tropical fruit-like scents, zesty fruit, a notion of minerals, and a medium-bodied, clean, dry finish. The wine has texture and length, something most Italian dry whites lack. Drink it over the next year. Importer: Steven Berardi, Elizabeth Imports, Denver, CO; tel. (303) 394-0691
