THE WINE
The Friulano from Livio Felluga is the label of tradition, dedicated to the wine that has made the history of the territory. The grapes come from vineyards cultivated in the Colli Orientali area, towards the Slovenian border, known as 'ponca', on soils made up of marls and sandstones of ancient oceanic origin. Fermentation and aging for 6 months in steel tanks on fine lees, in order to acquire body and greater aromatic complexity. A varied and harmonious bouquet, with citrus aromas, apricot, cedar, and bergamot. On the palate, it is soft, delicate, and enveloping, with a persistent and almond-like finish. A harmonious and soft white, particularly versatile in food pairings.
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 understand how the story of Livio Felluga intertwines with that of the entire territory. This is a story featuring a family that survived two world wars, witnessing the changing borders around them, before 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 restore the old vineyards and plant new ones, introducing innovative ideas and methods. A hard job, filled with determination and passion, which over the years led him to create one of the most beautiful and significant business realities of the Peninsula, fully earning the title unanimously bestowed upon him as the refounder of the Friulian wine tradition.
Currently, the company can rely on a vast vineyard area, ranging from the denomination of Collio to that of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, covering about 155 hectares. In the vineyard, the varieties encountered 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 estate's holdings.
And so, the “Vertigo,” the “Nuaré,” and the “Sharis” come to life, followed by all the others, culminating in the “Terre Alte”: wines born from a winery that still shines today for the quality and territorial character it manages to express, a true ambassador of the best Friulian whites - and therefore Italian - around the world.
