Friulano (language)
Friulian ( ) or Friulan (natively or ; ; ; ) is a Romance language belonging to the Rhaeto-Romance family. Friulian is spoken in the Friuli region of northeastern Italy and has around 600,000 speakers, the vast majority of whom also speak Italian. It is sometimes called Eastern Ladin since it shares the same roots as Ladin, but over the centuries, it has diverged under the influence of surrounding languages, including German, Italian, Venetian, and Slovene.

Sauvignonasse
Sauvignonasse (also known as Friulano, Tocai Friulano or Sauvignon Vert) is a white wine grape of the species ''Vitis vinifera'' prevalent in the Italian region of Friuli, and adjacent territories of Slovenia. It is widely planted in Chile, where it was historically mistaken for Sauvignon blanc. Friulano from Friuli-Venezia Giulia was known as ''"Tocai" Friulano'' until March 31, 2007, when the European Court of Justice of Luxembourg set the prohibition of using the name ''"Tocai"'' in the name of the wine (as stipulated in a 1993 agreement between the European Union and Hungary). Since 2007 wines made from ''Tocai Friulano'' have been labeled as ''Friulano'' in Friuli. Despite the fact that the word ''Tocai'' is no longer permitted on Italian wine labels, the grape is still officially named ''Tocai Friulano'' in Italy's National Catalog of Grape Varieties. In addition, wineries outside of Europe are permitted to label wines made with this grape as ''Tocai Friulano''. The main ...
