LIVIO FELLUGA ILLIVIO
Livio felluga produces this sensational blend that praises the
denomination doc “friuli colli orientali bianco”. It is composed by pinot bianco, chardonnay and picolit. The vineyards are trained with guyot method on lands
characterized by marls and sandstones of eocenic origin. This wine was
created in 1998 by the sons of livio felluga and it is dedicated to him for its
85th anniversary. It represents the personality of the “patriarch”, expressing
strength and elegance. The wine-making considers the elimination of stalks and
a brief period of maceration. After the soft pressing, the must is clarified
through static decanting. The fermentation is managed in small barrels made of
french oak at controlled temperature. It is followed by 10 months aging on
lees, in steel. After the bottling, the wine is stocked in thermo-conditioned
rooms.
Tasting Notes
Intense straw yellow. Intriguing,
superb fusion of sweet and citrus notes, acacia flowers, lemon peel, yellow
peach pulp, candied citron, white musk, tamarind, subtle hints of white
chocolate and pepper. Remarkable and fulfilling taste impact,
harmonious. Notes of lemon tart and vanilla bean combining with pleasantly
savory and creamy aromas. The grapes are carefully esteemed and
left to macerate for a short period. Next, the fruit is soft crushed. The must
obtained is then allowed to settle. The now-clarified must ferments at
controlled temperatures in small casks of French oak, where it matures for
about ten months. After fermentation, the wine was left on the lees in the
small oak casks for about ten months. The bottled wine was aged in
temperature-controlled binning cellars.
