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.

The nose is energetic and lively, with strawberry and raspberry in cream, flaky salt, and violet, all harmonizing delicately. The palate is precise, showing wild strawberry, raspberry, soft florals, and a subtle salty-stony core, while hints of spice lie just beneath the surface. It benefits from time to fully come together in bottle but is approachable now with aeration.

An energetic bouquet opens on perfectly ripe orchard fruit of freshly cut pears and bergamot, framed by chalky limestone that signals both precision and depth. The palate is brisk and composed, moving effortlessly with clarity and drive before settling into a long, saline finish. Expressive, balanced and deeply satisfying.
