An elegant wine focused on minerality. Restrained lychee, sage and stony mineral character. Light-bodied with crisp acidity, a silky texture and a tense, slightly tight palate due to brilliant acidity. Drink or hold.

A tight and restrained wine. The nose is focused on tuberose, melon and a bit of sage. Light- to medium-bodied, full of tension, with almost zesty acidity in the finish. Drink now.

The Livio Felluga 2020 Friuli Colli Orientali Pinot Grigio Curubella displays a coppery hue, or "ramato" in Italian, thanks to minimal skin contact. Aged in amphorae, it develops a textural richness rarely found in standard Pinot Grigio. This depth carries through to both the aromas and flavors, where notes of peach skin, mandarin, grapefruit, and a hint of spicy saffron burst forth. It is a striking example of the traditional Pinot Grigio style that has defined the region for centuries.

The 2022 Friulano regular bottling from Livio Felluga is a lovely wine, showing pretty and stylish ripe fruit and tipping the scales at 13.5 percent octane in this vintage. The wine’s aromatic constellation is bright and complex, hopping from the glass in a mix of pear, lime, green olive, a lovely foundation of white soil tones, spring flowers and a topnote of orange zest. On the palate the wine is vibrant, complex and full-bodied, with lovely depth of fruit, fine mineral undertow, zesty acids and lovely focus on the long, bouncy and well balanced finish. There is just a whisper of reductive bitterness on the finish right now, which dissipates nicely with a bit of time in the decanter. Fine juice. 2024-2030.

Friulian sauvignon blanc is such a lovely wine and Livio Felluga makes one of the finest I have tasted. Their 2022 version is also showing a bit of reduction from its closure when first opened, so aeration prior to serving is again necessary to enjoy the wine properly. With air, it offers up a lovely nose of gooseberry, lime, a touch of casaba melon, damp grass, a fine base of soil and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, zesty and well balanced, with a good core, lovely soil signature, bouncy acids and fine focus and grip on the long, complex and nicely balanced finish. This is fine juice, just make sure you decant it before serving! 2024-2030.
