Product Description
The La Castellada Tocai Friulano Collio is a benchmark artisanal white from Oslavia in Friuli, Italy, showcasing Friulano’s depth and texture with the estate’s signature low-intervention craft. This expressive white wine highlights Collio’s ponca soils and long, patient élevage that deliver structure and ageability.
Tasting notes
Rich aromas of apricot, peach, wild flowers, and potted herbs lead to a full, layered palate with ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and the variety’s hallmark bitter-almond nuance. Fresh acidity and saline minerality drive a persistent finish, offering both gastronomic versatility and cellar potential for this Friuli white wine.
Vinification & style
