Edi Simčič Tokata

Until a few years ago, the Italians from Friuli still made wine from the 'Tocai' grape. That was a sore spot for the Hungarians, who have been making wine in the region of Tokaj for centuries. That is why Italians nowadays call it the Friulano grape. The Slovenians just across the border apparently don't know anything, because this bottle simply says Tokata.

This is a wood-fermented and matured version with the saltiness of the nearby Adriatic Sea. Firm and creamy. Mineral and with a lot of width. A real food wine that can still age for a few years. But not in Mr Orbán's basement.
