Winemaker Notes
The flavors are elegant, tense, vibrant, with good balance; great and persistent aromatics.
It's a particularly good match for fish, mollusc appetizers, risottos and baked vegetables.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Pinot Grigio shows off a clean, focused personaltiy in its jasmine and white stone fruits. There is plenty of energy and precision in the glass, but in an understated style that is quite appealing. This precise, articulate Pinot Grigio is best enjoyed over the next 1-2 years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.

The 500-acre Livio Felluga Estate includes 370 acres of rolling hillside vineyards in the Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli. Friuli's temperate climate, protected by the Alps to the north and moderated by the Adriatic Sea to the south is a winemaker's dream. The sparse soil of marl and calcareous deposits is ideal for the white varieties, and also for their complex red wines.
Felluga does not believe in undistinguished, homogenous wine styles, but rather focuses on subtle, elegant expressions of wines made from grapes which have been grown in Friuli for centuries. Balance and clarity are the hallmarks of these wines, with minimum influence from oak and maximum freshness.
