Description

A dry still white wine from the Colli Orientali del Friuli, 13% ABV, produced by Livio Felluga, 2023 vintage. Blend of Chardonnay, Picolit, and Pinot Bianco. This wine is born from the passion of Livio Felluga, who since 1956 has linked his name to the production of high-quality wines, bearing the unmistakable Carta Geografica label. The grapes are delicately destemmed and left to macerate for a short period. They are then softly pressed, and the resulting must is clarified by decantation. The resulting must ferments at a controlled temperature in small French oak barrels. After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees in the small oak barrels for approximately ten months. Intense straw yellow, with a refined, broad, complex bouquet, sweet and spicy fruity, with a clear mineral note, hints of pineapple, candied citrus, iris, hyacinth, aromatic herbs, walnut husk and pleasant woodiness.

Livio Felluga is a historic Friulian winery, named after its founder, known for the exceptional quality of the wines it produces, made famous by labels that symbolise the estates on which the property stood. The history of the Livio Felluga winery began at the end of World War II, when Livio managed to acquire vineyards near Rosazzo in the province of Udine and in the vicinity of the Colli Orientali del Friuli area. Coming from a family that was involved in the production of wines such as Malvasia and Refosco in Istria, Livio decided to focus on the quality of his wines through the use of techniques that were cutting-edge for the time. Thanks to work based on the elaboration of Red and white Felluga wines from international and indigenous grapes such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon, Livio has succeeded in bringing Friulian wine production back into vogue. Wines such as the famous White wine Terre Alte, or the red Sossò belong to the Livio Felluga winery. On Xtrawine you can find numerous Felluga wines that stand out for their smoothness, balance and elegance. All of the bottles from the Livio Felluga winery featured on Xtrawine are distinguished by an ageing capacity that ranges from 5 to 10 years and pairs perfectly with shellfish, cheese and meat dishes.
