Livio Felluga Description
This noble grape variety derives from a budding mutation of Pinot Noir and, since it prefers cool climates, it finds its ideal habitat in the hills. The Livio Felluga vinification process gives the wine elegance and finesse, while maintaining the characteristic subtle auburn hues of its color. It is undoubtedly the best-known Friulian wine in the world.
Livio Felluga is all about finesse and elegance, maintaining the subtle coppery reflections that characterize its color.
Pairs beautifully with fish, shellfish, risottos, and baked vegetables.

Cellar Selection
Gentle aromas of creamy pears, Fuji apples, acacia and millefiore honey entice the senses. The rounded palate surprises with a lively acidity, crisp green apples, roasted almonds and sea salt flavors, then with mouth-watering acidity and a gripping finish. This Pinot Grigio offers a delightful balance of elegance and substance, a wine that is great for today, but this could be an age-worthy wine.
James Suckling: 92 Points
Attractive aromas of nectarines and pears with spices, dried flowers, chalk and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied, sleek and juicy, with the textural feeling of ripe stone fruit. Very approachable and seductive. Creamy finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2022 Pinot Grigio is dramatically floral with a sweet spice and mint dusting, giving way to freshly sliced peaches. This flows across the palate with silky textures and a pure blend of ripe peach complemented by sour citrus. It tapers off with admirable length yet clean, leaving a cheek-puckering tinge of candied lemon as the mouth is left watering for more.
