The Livio Felluga 2022 Rosazzo Terre Alte is the estate’s flagship wine, a classic blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon Blanc sourced from old vines planted between the 1950s and 1970s. Despite a warm vintage, balanced rainfall and hillside vineyard vigor preserved freshness and composure. The wine shows layered notes of citrus, mandarin and subtle tropical fruit, alongside Mediterranean herbs and mineral, saline tones from the Ponca soils. Deep-rooted vines contribute concentration and structure, yet the wine remains precise and harmonious, with nothing out of place and a long, refined finish.

The Livio Felluga 2019 Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit (in a 375-milliliter bottle) shows a bright golden hue with opulent yet beautifully balanced aromas of sweet fruit and marron glacé with whipped cream. Once a prized dessert wine of European nobility, Picolit remains a rare and niche expression today, and this was the only example tasted for this report, underscoring its scarcity and prestige. Made from a grape affected by natural flower abortion, which limits the number of berries per cluster and concentrates richness and density, the wine achieves remarkable intensity while never feeling heavy or cloying, instead maintaining freshness and a vertical, elegant profile throughout.

The Livio Felluga 2021 Friuli Colli Orientali Pinot Grigio Curubella—a name meaning “hilltop” in local dialect and introduced in 2018—offers a more structured and characterful expression of the grape, shaped by longer skin maceration that gives the wine a slightly deeper hue and added complexity over a more classic Pinot Grigio style. The bouquet reveals pronounced freshness alongside notes of pear, white pepper, licorice, balsamic herbs and marked salinity, while the palate shows impressive intensity balanced by delicacy, with a layered, savory profile that feels both profound and beautifully composed.

Vibrant aromas of orange zest, white peach, grapefruit pith, and honeysuckle saunter across the nose. The palate is pillowy soft in texture, with a twist of lemon that lifts the finish. This wine is ready to be enjoyed now.

Detailed aromas and flavors deliver a Tempranillo that is simultaneously vibrant, creamy, and approachable. Upfront fruits, cassis, black cherry, and bramble gain layers of spice, molasses, and savory pleasure. Friendly while distinctive, this wine can be enjoyed now and will gain more interest with age.
