Some say it originated in Italy and was brought by Italian-speaking settlers who arrived in the Kingdom of Hungary at the invitation of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d kings after the Tartar invasion. Among them, of course, were vine growers too. However, it cannot be denied that on the one hand, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/winesofhungary.hu\/wine-tourism\/tokaj-wine-district\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Tokaj region<\/strong><\/a> you can find two villages, Olaszliszka and Bodrogolasi, which preserve the memory of these former settlers in their names (the Hungarian word for Italian is <em>olasz<\/em>), while on the other, the name T\u00e1llya probably comes from the French word <em>taille<\/em>, meaning \u2018pruning\u2019, so it is only sure that some kind of romance-language speakers settled in Tokaj. Probably they weren\u2019t Italians, and it\u2019s by no means certain that they came from Italy. On the other hand, there are also settlements in what was at the time the Kingdom of Hungary, in the Serem region, which have preserved the word <em>olasz<\/em> in their name, and there is, or was, Furmint there. Thirdly, just to complete the chaos, there is no written mention of Furmint in these places. It only appeared in Erd\u0151benye in Tokaj in the 1600s, while it is mentioned as early as the 1200s in Sopron, although it was called Zapfner by the upstanding local Germans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/bor.hu\/media\/uploads\/hirek_2022\/02_februar\/ercsey_furmint_final\/tokaji_szoloultetveny_6.jpg?1643725884564\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em> Vines in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/winesofhungary.hu\/wine-tourism\/tokaj-wine-district\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tokaj wine region<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>Others say that it is native to the Tokaj region, which is contradicted by the fact that it was not mentioned until the 1600s, although it does reinforce the theory that this is where the greatest genetic diversity of the variety occurs in the world. Still others say that the cradle of Furmint was in the Serem, where it first spread westwards to the present-day Croatian-Slovenian border, then northwards to the area around Lake Fert\u0151 and the northern shore of Lake Balaton, where it is known as Szigeti, before turning eastwards again towards Tokaj, the main region where it is produced today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the truth may be, nowadays the Austrians no longer make their \u2018Rusti Asz\u00fa\u2019 from Furmint, you can only find a few examples of Furmint in Serem, and the emphasis is rather on Olaszrizling at the Balaton, so we can safely say that today\u2019s most important region for Furmint is Tokaj. Of course, you can find Furmint in Croatia, where it is called Moslavac or more often Pusipel, in Slovenia, where it is known as Sipon, and a little in Austria under the name Zapfner. However, the main thing the world is paying attention to is Furmint from Tokaj.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/bor.hu\/media\/uploads\/hirek_2022\/02_februar\/ercsey_furmint_final\/tokaj_furmint_2017.jpg?1643726016600\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em> Let\u2019s toast with a glass of Tokaji Furmint on the first day of February!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>The other mistake probably comes from here. Most people still think that Tokaji Furmint is SWEET! Although, of course, it is true that the Furmint berries in the wine region have been selected over the centuries to make <a href=\"https:\/\/winesofhungary.hu\/oldalak\/tokaji-aszu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Asz\u00fa<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 and let\u2019s not forget how wonderful Tokaji Asz\u00fa wines are \u2013 there has also always been a dry wine as an everyday drink too. Since the early 2000s, the attention of producers has turned to oak-aged, full-bodied dry Furmint, often single vineyard wines, which are now pretty much the most expensive dry white wines in Hungary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, today is definitely the day to celebrate with Furmint of a thousand faces. Whether light or full-bodied, let\u2019s say like Tokaj, sweet, or dry, sparkling or p\u00e9t-nat, let\u2019s toast today to perhaps the most famous Hungarian grape variety and the winemakers who make wine from it!
