Pinot Grigio DOC 2020 Livio Felluga

This famous vine derives from a bud mutation of Pinot Noir and, preferring cool climates, finds its ideal habitat in the hills. The Livio Felluga vinification gives the wine finesse and elegance, maintaining the soft coppery reflections that unmistakably characterize the colour.

• Features: It is certainly the best known Friulian wine in the world. The Pinot Grigio DOC “Livio Felluga” has an unmistakable bright yellow color with pink and coppery reflections. The perfume is complex, powerful, enveloping, with a rich and multifaceted bouquet that starts from notes of delicate flowers and evolves into notes of ripe fruit with apricot, percoca, white melon and yellow peach in evidence. Sweet sensations of custard and creme brûlé are well balanced by the freshness of citrus fruits. The taste is voluminous, crunchy, compact. A wine that for its character.
• Pairings: A wine that for its character goes well with fish dishes, shellfish appetizers, risottos and vegetable flans.

History of Livio Felluga

It is easy to understand how the story of Livio Felluga and his wine is intertwined with the story of that particular land that surrounds the extreme north-east of the Adriatic, the point of contact between the Mediterranean and central Europe. History of borders changed several times, empires disappeared, past wars. of people who stopped here. It is the story of a man who went through two world wars, lived first in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and then in the young Kingdom of Italy, lived on the rocky coast of the Istrian peninsula and in the lagoon Grado. Livio Felluga moved to Friuli in the late 1930s, to settle on the gentle foothills of the Rosazzo hills. His dream of producing hill wine was interrupted by his call to the front. As if that weren't enough, the return to Italy was not easy for the veterans of the Second World War: the physical, political and ethnic borders had changed, distorted forever, like the agricultural and social landscape of the hill itself. The peasant population was leaving, further impoverishing the land and abandoning the crops, values and traditions associated with it. Livio Felluga had to undertake a new battle to resurrect the hill, convinced that only the rebirth of quality cultivation could bring life back to the Friuli countryside. With great courage he began to restore the ancient vineyards of Rosazzo and plant new ones, introducing innovative ideas and methods. Hard work, undertaken with great stubbornness and passion which over the years will lead him to create one of the most beautiful and significant companies in the Belpaese, acquiring the rightful title of re-founder of the Friulian winemaking tradition and reference actor of the Italian wine renaissance .
