Winemaker Notes
It is certainly the most well-known Friulian wine in the world: Livio Felluga gives the wine finesse and elegance, maintaining the subtle coppery reflections that characterize its color.

James Suckling
This shows a mineral nose with notes of pears, orchid blossom and melon skins with some flinty reduction to it. It’s chalky and lightly phenolic with a medium body. Beautiful texture. There’s attractive fruit underneath, reminiscent of peach skins and white cherries. Flavorful finish.

Wine Enthusiast
This wine is vibrant, fresh and graceful from the start. Aromas of fresh-cut white flowers, Bosc pear, sweet spice and crushed rock arise from the glass. The palate shows ripe McIntosh apple, with creaminess that is perfectly balanced by a zap of acidity on the finish.

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.
