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.
