If you’re an avid viewer of cooking shows and/or Italian food, the name Lidia Bastianich is likely familiar to you. For years, Lidia has been the Italian mother coming into American homes via television, showing us how to make the comforting Italian dishes our own mothers may not have had the slightest clue how to make. But what many don’t know is that Lidia, in partnership with her son, sommelier Joe Bastianich and friend and superstar chef, Mario Batali, owns her own vineyards in Italy.

Within the Colli Orientali region of Friuli, the Tocai Friuliano grape is king of the white wines (though in 2007, the EU mandated they begin calling it Friuliano since another region laid claims on the Tocai name.) Lidia’s Friuliano is a classic expression of the local grape and terroir, with medium body and lush flavors of pear, mineral and almond.
