A Tulip Shaped glass is the best choice for dry white wines.
It guides the wine to the center of your mouth, avoiding the sides, where acidity is less pleasant.
A smaller bowl also helps to serve smaller quantities, and keep the wine cold.
Remember to hold the glass by the stem!
Friulano was previously known as Tocai.
In 2007, the European Court of Justice set the right to use the name only for Tokaii of Hungary.
Friuli-Venezia Giulia is best known for its capital Trieste.
