2021 Pinot Grigio, Livio Felluga

Golden, fragrant and quietly luxurious, this is Pinot Grigio with a true Friulian soul. It opens with pear blossom, white peach, apricot and a glimmer of citrus peel, then settles into a rounded, polished palate where ripe orchard fruit meets a clean, savoury finish. There is a faint copper glow to its character, not loud or showy, but graceful, poised and full of hillside charm.

For when: the table is set, the seafood is on ice, and the evening wants a little Italian grace.
Pairs with: shellfish, grilled fish, risotto, roast chicken, vegetable tarts or creamy soft cheeses.

Livio Felluga is one of Friuli’s defining estates, with a family story rooted in the revival of the region’s hillside vineyards and an enduring symbol in its famous geographical map label. Based around the Friulian hills, the winery has become synonymous with elegant, expressive white wines that carry a deep sense of place, quiet confidence and a lasting affection for the landscape that shaped them.
