Wine Club Member Exclusive through November 2024

We are excited to offer you the new vintage of our Tocai Friulano! This delightful 2023 white wine is 100% Tocai Friulano from our Sylvanus Vineyard on the home farm in Bridgehampton. We are one of just a couple of producers growing and making Tocai Friulano on the East End of Long Island, and one of only a handful in the United States. Our Tocai was harvested by hand, whole cluster-pressed, fermented and raised in stainless steel tanks on its lees for eight months. This white grape is native to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in Northeast Italy and our version offers wonderful aromas and flavors of green and yellow apples, white grapefruit, green almonds, minerals, talc, Asian pears and spice. Our Tocai is pale straw in color with gold/green reflections, the wine is bone dry and possesses medium-body, moderate alcohol, juicy acidity and great persistence on the long, flavorful finish. There is an alluring sea salt minerality that keeps you coming back for more. Our Tocai has a great mouthfeel and manages the very gratifying textural paradox of a light, fresh, aromatic wine with a weighty, fleshy, fluidity that is just delightful. This is the quintessential prosciutto wine and also works well with other hams, salumi, fresh cheeses, fricos, pastas and risotto. Also, white fleshed fish dishes and our local clams (in pasta, casino, baked, raw and on a pizza!) are a tasty match. We hope you enjoy this delicious and unique white wine. 288 cases produced.
