Livio Felluga Vertigo IGT (75cl)

Vertigo is a red blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from Livio Felluga's own vineyards in the Collio Friulano, where the soils are marl and sandstone. The grapes are picked by hand around the first ten days of October. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks with the skins, at controlled temperature, for about three weeks, with frequent pumping over to draw out aroma and colour. The wine then spends a year in steel and small French oak barrels, followed by four months in bottle. On the nose there is red berry fruit with deeper notes of spice and liquorice, and a touch of green pepper. The palate is full, soft and satisfying, finishing with spice.
