In the Glass — Tasting Notes

This wine unfolds with candied citrus and honeyed stone fruit, then reveals the floral and spice-driven character that marks a thoughtfully composed blend. The backbone is clean minerality speaking to the marls and sandstone soils beneath, with bracing acidity that keeps everything food-focused and alive. Almond lingers on the finish—a signature note that marks this as a wine built for conversation and the table.

The Winery — Livio Felluga

Livio Felluga established his Brazzano estate in the 1950s, convinced of Collio and Colli Orientali's winemaking potential when few others saw it. Their landmark Terre Alte debuted in 1981, launching a tradition of innovation that continues under winemaker Andrea Felluga. The 2019 Rosazzo Bianco draws fruit from the vineyard's most prized holding—a site Augustinian monks identified as exceptional in the 9th century, now sheltered by the Alps yet swept clean by the Adriatic's Bora wind. Hand-harvested grapes underwent gentle skin maceration before fermentation; barrel-fermented Friulano aged in 250-litre French oak (mix of new and used), while Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon Blanc fermented cool in steel on fine lees for ten months. The result is a wine with genuine depth and precision, made to reward patience in the glass.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is a wine made for the table. Pair it with shellfish and crustacean, white fish, cream-based pasta, or soft cheeses. At 13.5% ABV and bone-dry in the glass, it serves beautifully as an aperitivo or the centrepiece of a date-night meal. Serve well chilled. One of the finest expressions of Friulano we've found, it rewards those who take time to discover its layered character.
