Friulano (formerly known as Tocai Friulano) is one of northeast Italy's signature white grapes, and Scarpetta's version shows exactly why locals have treasured it for centuries. This is the bottle to reach for when you want something more interesting than Pinot Grigio but just as refreshing. The team behind Scarpetta – Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson – created the Frico series to bring authentic Italian wine experiences to everyday drinking. This Friulano captures that hard-to-define Italian character that makes their wines so food-friendly and versatile. With its combination of fruit, texture, and that subtle bitter almond note on the finish, it's the perfect introduction to one of Italy's most underappreciated white varieties.
