Livio Felluga Illivio (75cl)

Illivio is a white DOC wine from Livio Felluga in Friuli Venezia Giulia, made from Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay. The grapes are picked by hand into small crates in the second decade of September, destemmed gently and left briefly on their skins before a soft pressing. The must is settled by decanting, then fermented at controlled temperature in small French oak barrels for ten months. The nose is fragrant and elegant, with white peach, candied citrus peel and well-integrated oak. On the palate the finesse of the Pinot Bianco is balanced by the volume of the Chardonnay. It finishes savoury, with sweet notes that give it breadth.
