Livio Felluga Friulano DOC (75cl)

This is a white Friulano from Livio Felluga in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a wine the producer treats as the traditional taste of Friuli. The grapes are picked by hand in the last ten days of September, gently destemmed and left briefly on their skins before a soft pressing. The must is settled by decanting, then fermented at controlled temperature in stainless steel for six months. The wine rests in temperature-controlled rooms for about two months before release. The nose is elegant and intense, with citrus, tomato leaf, almond, apricot, kiwi and yellow peach, plus lemon blossom, jasmine and old rose. The palate is round and lively, with ripe Golden apple, dried fruit, vanilla and balsamic sage and thyme, ending with a light bitter note and a citrus aftertaste.
