Livio Felluga
The winery was founded in 1956, after Livio Felluga relocated from his native Istria, but the family's winemaking traditions date back to the mid-19th century. Now in his 90s, founder and patriarch Livio Felluga is accredited with innovating and mastering modern wine making in Italy. His reputation for creating exceptionally lush, crisp and well-balanced wines extends well beyond the region of Friuli. His wines are recognized the world over as the finest in their categories. 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
Description
From the Historical vineyards of the Abbazia di Rosazzo. Complex and elegant. Soft attack with a lively acidic note. Richness of sensations in the palate and great consistency with the nose: Granny Smith apple, yellow peach, papaya, white flowers, citrus and balsamic hints. The tannic structure well supports the minerality. Full finish with great persistence.
Food Pairing
Shellfish, oysters, caviar, mussels, seaweeds and other salty flavors; it’s a particularly good match with vegetables and light meats with delicate and rich dressings.
