Pink grapefruit, redcurrant and yellow fruit over crushed stone and nutty lees notes. Elegant and concentrated, with white stone fruit, dried herbs and a salty, vibrant finish.

Pale copper colour that leans more orange than red – ramato style. Unbelievably fresh for having seven years of age! Sticky dried apricots, toast and tangy lactic yogurt on the nose. The tannins are exceedingly gentle, adding body and breadth. Mouth-filling acidity that’s perfectly balanced against the tannin and fruit. A compelling orange-peel-, spice- and salt-laced finish. A lesson in the ageability of skin-contact ‘whites’. 

Medium lemon with a bronze hue. Saline, peachy and yeasty with light floral notes. Wonderfully classic. Medium(+) fresh acidity and a bit of texture and grip to the salty finish. I’d rather drink the Curubella 2019 but I’d use this in a blind tasting any day of the week for very good, very classic Pinot Grigio.

The Livio Felluga 2024 Collio Sauvignon is aromatic yet restrained, showing tropical and citrus tones with a subtle touch of honey, balanced by structure and substance rather than overt intensity. A short skin contact lasting four to eight hours and about nine months of lees aging add texture and complexity. Roughly 20% malolactic fermentation brings a gentle roundness without diminishing freshness. Less immediately expressive than typical Sauvignon, it leans into nuance, with saline, mineral notes and hints of lantana and white flowers. In the hills of Collio, where ripeness and acidity are carefully balanced, the result is a composed and quietly complex white wine.

The Livio Felluga 2024 Friuli Colli Orientali Friulano shows classic varietal character, with white flowers, green pea and citrus leaning toward bergamot and kumquat, alongside hints of sweet almond and light botrytis complexity. The palate is glossy and textural, shaped by about 80% malolactic fermentation and partial aging in terracotta orcio, giving a creamy, almost pastry-like richness reminiscent of lemon cream. Subtle vegetal and mineral tones—willow, herbs and a saline edge—add depth, while a touch of residual sugar enhances roundness without weighing down the wine.
