Livio Felluga Illivio 2020
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyLivio Felluga is one of the most respected producers of Friuli, dedicating his life to reviving high-quality and sustainable viticulture in the hills of this north-eastern, Adriatic-influenced Italian countryside. He emigrated from Istria and established his property in Brazzano in the 1950s, buying up old, neglected vineyards and rejuvenating them. Illuvio was created in 1998 by Livio Felluga’s children, who dedicated the wine to him for his 85th birthday. Unlike his signature varietal series, done in stainless, this blend of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Picolit was fermented and aged in small oak casks on lees. Ripe and creamy quince, pear, melon, and white peach fill a textural, expansive palate seasoned with fine fresh green spices and ample salinity. Very complete, drinking smartly now, and with time ahead.Tasted: 21 October 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $64.00 | 750ml | consignment |
