Well, it is the same grapes. Traditionally (I mean since the times of the Austro Ungarian Empire) they make a good Tokai wine in Eastern Italy (Friuli), really good, they do the dry only, not the sweetish exceptionally good Hungarian. BTW, there is not a great geographical distance between the locations. Recently the Hungarians won an international legal dispute so they only can use the Tokai denomination, which is just fair, as they do not have that much more to show off. So the Italians have to call their Tokai, Friulano.
it is a very good dry white wine, with depth and subtleties. I still have a case more or less. With fish and light food is just heavenly,
