“As I have mentioned before, the Sossó “Riserva” from Livio Felluga is crafted from a cépages of Merlot and two local grapes, Refosco dal Peduncolo and Pignolo. The bunches are destemmed and the wine fermented in both stainless steel tanks and barriques, with the élevage in casks for eighteen months prior to bottling. The 2016 Sossó is a superb follow-up to the beautiful 2015 version, coming in at 13.5 percent octane and delivering a deep and complex aromatic constellation of sweet dark berries, black cherries, a touch of sweet balsamic tones, a lovely foundation of dark soil, woodsmoke, a discreet framing of cedary oak and a gentle topnote of sweet botanicals. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a sappy core of black fruit, lovely soil signature and grip, ripe, buried tannins and impeccable balance on the long, suave and very, very promising finish. This great wine simply needs more time in the cellar to soften up its tannins properly. 2031-2085.”

This is spiced with candied mandarin and peach skins as well as dried herbs and hints of cream. Medium- to full-bodied. This is so complete and lengthy on the palate and very balanced. It’s polished and even with toned acidity and a somewhat firm, phenolic backbone to it. Tense and nervy, but very elegant, too. Drink or hold.

Fascinating aromas of ash, wet stones, dried apple, hints of honey and flint. Tar. Full-bodied with great density and energy. Framed and solid. Vine bark with mushrooms. Reserved. Old vines. 80- to 100-years-old. Friulano, pinot bianco and sauvignon blanc with a dash of malvasia and ribolla gialla. Drink now.

A blend of Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, Malvasia Istriana and Ribolla Gialla, this historic wine from Livio Felluga is complex and deeply pleasing . Aromas of white peach, wild mint, citrus blossom and crushed chalk lure you more deeply into the wine. The palate has a solid core of nectarine and pineapple that gives way to hints of white tea, cream and baking spice. Enough acidity at the end keeps the wine all together. Drink now–2035.

“The name of this wine derives from the flower of the same name, "Potentilla". The name combines the Latin "potenza" for power with the diminutive form of "illa" creating defining the small flower with great power. This is a perfect name for this delicious Sauvignon from the historic Livo Felluga estate. Aromas of white peach, citrus oil and yellow flowers leap out of the glass. The palate is round and texture, due to oak aging, finishing with hints of nectarine, crushed rock and a touch of herb. Beautifully balanced this wine will age quiet well. Drink NOW.”
