Product Description
The wine is yellow in color and emphasized by a characteristic varietal scent reminiscent of apricot, orange blossom, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is bright, elegant, and harmonious with dried apricots and fresh herbs.
Jakot (aka Sauvignonasse, Sauvignon Vert, Friulano) is the new classification for the former Tokaji varietal. Both Slovenians and Italians historically called this grape Tokaj, but Hungary disputed this usage given their historic Tokaji appellation and the term was officially protected in 2005. In a begrudging response, the locals simply call it “Jakot” (Tokaj, spelled backwards).
Some of the best Jakot pairings of stuffed squash blossoms with goat cheese and ricotta/zuchinni fritters with pesto. Is also just a great universal pairing for most vegetable dishes.
