Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio 2024
Introduction
This white wine originates from Italy, specifically from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region within the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC. The winery was founded by Livio Felluga, who is widely considered the 'patriarch' of Friulian viticulture and was instrumental in reviving the region's reputation after World War II. The estate's philosophy focuses on a deep connection to the land, famously represented by the historic map of the family's hillside vineyards featured on every label.
Wine Description
Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio displays a brilliant straw yellow colour with subtle copper highlights. The nose is complex and elegant, offering aromas of acacia flowers, yellow peach, and melon layered with notes of white flowers and a hint of flint. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied and well structured, featuring a creamy texture balanced by a vibrant mineral acidity. It is characterized by its remarkable freshness and harmony, delivering flavours of golden apple and pear that lead to a long, savory finish. This 100% Pinot Grigio typically has an ABV of 13% to 13.5%. While the winery employs sustainable practices in their hillside vineyards, this specific bottling is not certified organic. The optimal drinking window is from release through the next three to five years.
