2024 Felluga, Livio - Friulano (750ml)

The 2024 Livio Felluga Friulano delivers the crisp minerality and savory structure that define premium whites from Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Grown near Cormons on Ponca soil—a marl and Eocene sandstone formation that naturally limits vine vigor and concentrates saline elements—the fruit is hand-harvested in late September. After gentle destemming and a brief skin maceration paired with a short cold soak, fermentation moves into temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine then ages on its lees for roughly six months, developing body and complexity while remaining completely unoaked.

A light canary yellow hue reveals itself alongside an aromatic layering of yellow peach, tropical fruit, white roses, and mallow blossoms. Subtle herbal and spice undertones of fresh sage, sandalwood, and almond paste add depth before the palate introduces a soft but distinctly sapid profile. The finish closes with the characteristic bitter almond note that marks authentic Friulano.

This versatile Italian white pairs seamlessly with prosciutto and sliced San Daniele ham, stands well alongside mushroom risotto, or complements cleanly prepared grilled white fish. Sourced from a family estate that has tended sustainable hillside plots around Rosazzo since the post-war era, each 750ml bottle provides consistent, food-friendly quality rooted in precise viticultural timing and minimal intervention winemaking.
