Ribolla Gialla 2023

Description

A still white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 12.5% ABV, 100% Ribolla Gialla, produced by Livio Felluga. A wine that embodies the history and passion of a family that has been producing excellent wines for six generations. The company, founded in 1956, is famous for its labels featuring the "Carta Geografica," a tribute to the region. 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 must then ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is left on the lees in stainless steel tanks for six months. The bottled wine is normally stored in temperature-controlled rooms for approximately two months. Very intense and fresh; hints of peach blossom and plum, integrated with fruity notes; aromas of lily of the valley and orange blossom stand out, fused with hints of pear and green apple. Straw yellow with light green highlights. Fresh, lively, fluid, and pleasantly tart; a balsamic aftertaste of quince and rennet apple.

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.
