Famed restauranteur and TV chef Lidia and wine expert son Joe Bastianich are celebrating their family's Friulian origins with this outstanding vineyard and winery in the hills of northeastern Italy bordering Slovenia.

They feel that the local white grape Tocai epitomises the best of their heritage. It makes a wine that is dry and subtle, with delicate floral aromas, a soft but lush texture, and an intriguing mineral finish.

Food matches: vegetable antipasti; San Daniele prosciutto and other mild sliced cold cuts; grilled mild fish' shellfish pasta and risott' montasio, piave and asiago cheeses.
