About the Wine
Livio Felluga lends the wine finesse and elegance while preserving the faint coppery highlights, which are Pinot Grigio's signature. The Livio Felluga vinification process gives the wine elegance and finesse while maintaining the characteristic subtle auburn hues of its colour. It is undoubtedly the best-known Friulian wine in the world. The healthy and perfectly ripe grapes were hand-picked in small crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit. After gentle destemming, the fruit was left to macerate for a short period, then softly crushed, and the must be obtained was clarified by decantation. Temperature-controlled fermentation followed in stainless steel vats. At the end of fermentation, the wine was kept on the lees for a few months to increase its complexity, creamy texture, and suitability for aging. Once bottled, it matured in temperature-controlled rooms.
Tasting Notes
Generous and floral, with notes of acacia flowers, jasmine, hawthorn, broom, and elderflower, followed by hints of white and yellow fruits like pears, peaches, Golden Delicious apples, and apricot, blended with a fresh minerality and a pleasant citrus note. Sweet sensations of lemon cream and crème brûlée are supported by a spicy freshness. Full-bodied, crisp, rounded. Fresh, tangy and harmonious. The very long, lingering finish offers a fruity, salty aftertaste.
Pairing Recommendation
Particularly suitable for fish dishes, shellfish hors d’oeuvres, risottos and vegetable flans.
