Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Yellow with light copper hues. The nose is intense, harmonious and complex, with evident notes of citrus fruits, apricot and lime blossom, together with notes of flint, candied fruit, honey and biscuits. Smooth, long, with a great balance; complex aromas where you can find cherries, apple and mango integrated with elegant and strong mineral components.
Professional Ratings
-
Decanter
Delicate pear nose, pretty and elegant. Suave and juicy, with depth. Intense with a long spicy finish. Finesse.
-
Wine Spectator
Aromatic smoke, acacia blossom, pear and chopped hazelnut notes lace this rich version, while vibrant acidity keeps this light- to medium-bodied and lithe. Lacy finish. Drink now through 2020.

The winery was founded in 1956, after Livio Felluga relocated from his native Istria, but the family's winemaking traditions date back to the mid-19th century.
Now in his 90s, founder and patriarch Livio Felluga is accredited with innovating and mastering modern wine making in Italy.
His reputation for creating exceptionally lush, crisp and well-balanced wines extends well beyond the region of Friuli. His wines are recognized the world over as the finest in their categories.
The 500-acre Livio Felluga Estate includes 370 acres of rolling hillside vineyards in the Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli. Friuli's temperate climate, protected by the Alps to the north and moderated by the Adriatic Sea to the south is a winemaker's dream. The sparse soil of marl and calcareous deposits is ideal for the white varieties, and also for their complex red wines.
Felluga does not believe in undistinguished, homogenous wine styles, but rather focuses on subtle, elegant expressions of wines made from grapes which have been grown in Friuli for centuries. Balance and clarity are the hallmarks of these wines, with minimum influence from oak and maximum freshness.
