Description

Picolit is Friuli’s noblest wine, but its origins are still a matter for debate. It is only since 1750, thanks to the writings of Count Fabio Asquini, that we have any accurate documentation of this “nectar produced by the meagre berries of the bunch”. The peculiarity of this odd, delicate vine is the partial fertilisation of its flowers. This means that only a few, very concentrated berries ripen in each bunch. A complex wine the colour of old gold, Picolit marries sweet and acidulous sensations, releasing a pervasive aroma of candid peel, vanilla and Spring flowers. In the past, Picolit was the wine of Europe’s nobility. Today, it is admired as a prestigious meditation wine.

Perfume

Perfume

Unique and stylish with complex aromas. Vibrant floral notes of mimosa, acacia, rosehip and saffron blend with dates, caramelised figs, candied ginger, dried apricots and candied citrus peel. A lovely hint of sweet spice – nutmeg – appears alongside subtle toasty sensations and dried fruit.

Color

Color

Concentrated antique gold.

Taste

Taste

Luscious, with perfectly balanced texture, sweetness and acidity. Fragrant apricot jam, figs and walnuts, passion fruit and elderflowers, blending with sweet hints of acacia honey, cinnamon, amaretto, almond paste, and creme brulée. A long, lingering finish bursting with ripe tropical fruit and sweet spices.

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.

Harvest The healthy and perfectly ripe grapes are harvested by hand according to ripeness, in small crates, to preserve the integrity of the berry.
Wine making Carefully destemmed and left to macerate for a short period, the fruit is then soft crushed and the must obtained is allowed to settle. The must ferments at controlled temperature in small casks of French oak.
Aging After fermentation, the wine settles on the lees to enhance savouriness, creaminess and ageing potential. The bottled wine is then aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars.
