The Friulano grape is traditionally known in the Gorizia Hills of Collio, and over the border into Slovenia, as Tokay. But it has been the victim of EU legislation banning its use for fear of confusing it with the Hungarian wine, known as Tokaj or Tokaji. In response, the consorzios dreamt up the name 'Jakot' - a cheeky backwards rendering of Tokaj - which has since become the official name for this grape variety in this corner of Europe. This wine has been fermented in stainless steel with wild yeasts, with 10 days of skin contact then 60 days in French oak. Maturation was in 10hl oak barrels for 12 months followed by another 12 months in stainless steel, and six months in bottle. The wine has a cloudy haze, with a brambly nose leading into a juicy, textured palate full of herby blackberries and spiced apples. It has a slight mineral tang on the finish. A delicious wine.
