A light, elegant wine with aromas of tangerines, sage, peaches and Mirabelle plums. Very floral as well. Medium-bodied with a silky, almost oily texture, moderate yet refreshing acidity and a good, polished aftertaste. Drink or hold.

A simple yet precise wine with a good finish. Salt-and-pepper minerality with pear and citrus notes. Light-bodied with a silky texture, crisp acidity and a fruity finish. Drink now.

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.

A delicately aromatic nose of red currants, spicebush, tobacco leaf, dusty minerals, and wildflowers. The palate is compact with a wonderful medium- to full-bodied mouthfeel and plenty of energy and drive. The acidity is firm and inviting, forming a perfect backbone that preserves the wine's freshness. The tannins are satiny with a mocha-scented quality, and the red berry fruit is laced with salty minerals. The wine is impressively tension-filled, vivacious and yet light on its feet. A terrific effort.
