Rosazzo Bianco DOCG 'Terre Alte' 2021 (750 ml.) Livio Felluga
The 'Terre Alte' by Livio Felluga is an exceptional white wine, multi-awarded and praised by critics. It is a blend of Sauvignon, Pinot Bianco, and Friulano, resulting from separate vinifications and aging in steel and barrique. Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon ferment at controlled temperatures in steel tanks, while Friulano ferments in small French oak barrels. This difference continues even after vinification, during the aging phase, which lasts for 10 months, both in wood and in steel. The result is a wine with an elegant and complex bouquet featuring notes of tropical fruit, Mediterranean scrub, white flowers, and aromatic herbs. Rich, soft, intense, and persistent taste. A label symbolizing quality.

THE COMPANY
A unique name in the Italian production landscape, as well as a symbol of a region and its wines, it is easy to see how the story of Livio Felluga intertwines with that of an entire territory. This story centers around a family that survived two world wars, witnessing the changes in borders around them, then deciding to settle on the gentle slopes of the Friuli hills. It is here, not far from Cormòns in the province of Gorizia, that Livio Felluga had to embark on a new battle to revive the hillside, convinced that only the rebirth of quality cultivation could bring life back to the Friulian countryside. With great courage, he began to re-establish the old vineyards and plant new ones, introducing innovative ideas and methods. A hard job, marked by determination and passion, which over the years led him to create one of the most beautiful and significant business realities in the Peninsula, earning him the universally recognized title of the rebuilder of the Friulian winemaking tradition.
Currently, the company boasts a vast vineyard area, ranging from the Collio denomination to the Colli Orientali del Friuli, covering about 155 hectares. In the vineyard, the varieties found are both indigenous and international, including Friulano and Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Ribolla Gialla, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio, Picolit and Refosco, Pignolo and Merlot. Grapes that are transformed into what are now called the "map wines," always reproduced on the label and depicting an old map of the company's estates.
And so, here comes to life the “Vertigo,” the “Nuaré,” and the “Sharis,” followed gradually by all the others, culminating in the “Terre Alte”: wines that are the offspring of a winery that still shines today for its quality and the territorial character it manages to express, a true ambassador of the best Friulian whites - and therefore Italian - around the world.
