イタリアの白ワインを学ぶ Ｌｉｓｏｎ Ｃｌａｓｓｉｃｏ
Ｔｅｎｕｔａ ＰｏｌｖａｒｏのＬｉｓｏｎ Ｃｌａｓｓｉｃｏ、業者に問い合わせるとＴｏｃａｉ（トカイ）と同じ種類のぶどうだそうです。
かつてＴｏｃａｉを扱っていました。イタリア北部からその北の国で作られているぶどうということまでは知っていたのです。
ベネチアの位置分かりますか？イタリアの右の上（北東部）です、そのさらに東で作られています。
Lison Classico wines are made under the production conditions of the Lison DOC, specifically from grapes grown within the title's delimited classico zone. This zone is the area which has been longest used for the production of Lison wines
While the Lison catchment area spills over the regional border from Veneto into Friuli (it is the only DOCG to do this), the Lison Classico zone is located entirely within Veneto. It is specified as covering the neighborhoods of Lison, Pradipozzo and Summaga in the Portogruaro commune, Belfiore, Blessaglia and Salvaro in the Pramaggiore commune and Carline and Loncon in the Annone Veneto commune. This very flat, low-lying area (the altitude varies only 0–30ft/0–9m) spans less than 10 miles (16km) from east to west and occupies the very western edge of the wider Lison area.
All Lison and Lison Classico wines are white and made from Ｔａｉ (formerly known as Tocai) grapes. Between 1985 and 2010 they were sold under the Lison-Pramaggiore DOC, but have now been granted independence and a promotion to full DOCG status.
トカイという名前は1995年に裁判所の命令でハンガリー産のワインにしかつけてはいけないようになり、2007年以降は違法になったため、Ｆｒｉｕｌａｎｏという名前がぶどうの名前のようです。たぶん、原産地指定のようなもので、その地の特産品として守ろうという動きだったのでしょう。下を参照。
Friulano (formerly Tocai Friulano) is a synonym for the grape variety also known as Sauvignonasse and Sauvignon Vert – it is known as the latter when used in the Friuli wine region of northern Italy.
Limited almost entirely to the foothills of the Southern and Western Alps (it has made it across to the USA but only in tiny quantities), the variety is decidedly less widespread than its close relative, Sauvignon Blanc. However, like its western French cousin, it produces fruity wines with lively acidity and hints of minerality. They are best drunk within a few years of harvest.
In the 1990s and into the early years of the new millennium, Friulano and a few other grape varieties have been embroiled in a legal struggle over the use of the name 'Tokay' and its various permutations. For centuries Friulano has been called Tocai Friulano, but in 1995 the European Court ruled that 'Tokay' should be used only to describe the wines of Tokaj in eastern Hungary.
Although the European Court ruled on the naming restriction back in 1995, the response to this has been slow, particularly in Friuli. Although the use of the name Tocai on labels has technically been illegal since 2007, some wine producers continue to use it, and it seems unlikely that the current generation of Friuli's winemakers will drop the Tocai in conversation. It is helpful that the variety has salvaged the second half of its name, as this means ‘of Friuli’, making it easier to remember which of the several 'Tocai's it is and where the grape is most widely grown.
When the time came to choose an alternative name for the variety, Sauvignon Vert may have been an obvious and easily marketable choice, but neither the Italian nor the Slovenian producers who grow Friulano seemed keen to adopt the French-sounding name. The Slovenian contingent ended up choosing Sauvignonasse.
まあ、簡単に覚えるには、Ｓａｕｖｉｇｎｏｎ Ｂｌａｎｃに味が近いということで認識すれば良いと思います。
今回、仕入れましたから、グラス売りにて実験します。
うちの店、ワインのグラス売りを拡大しています。
白はＰｉｎｏｔ Ｇｒｉｇｉｏ、Ｐｉｎｏｔ Ｇｒｉｓ，2種類のＳａｕｖｉｇｎｏｎ Ｂｌａｎｃ，Ｂｏｒｄｅｕａｘ Ｂｌａｎｃ，Ｒｉｅｓｌｉｎｇ，Ａｌｂａｒｉｎｏ，2種類のＣｈａｒｄｏｎｎａｙです。全部で9種類あります。これぐらいやらないと売り上げが伸びません。管理は大変ですが、売り上げは確実に上がっています。
Ｐｉｎｏｔ ＧｒｉｇｉｏとＰｉｎｏｔ Ｇｒｉｓの違い分かりますか？ 同じものです。ただイタリア産のみＰｉｎｏｔ Ｇｒｉｇｉｏと呼ばれて、オーストラリアやオレゴンで作られるものはＰｉｎｏｔ Ｇｒｉｓと呼ばれています。
こうして欧州のワインを勉強することも教養の１つです。フレンチばかりがワインではありません。イタリアの方が歴史は古いのです。またスペインやポルトガル、他の欧州にも素晴らしいワインが沢山あります。
昨夜少し書いたサルバトーレ・フェラガモノのワイナリー、以下を見てください。

こういう場所でバカンスしたいものです。
