In the Glass — Tasting Notes
Bright and mineral-driven, this 2024 Pinot Grigio opens with melon and candied fruit before revealing layers of brioche and flint. On the palate, it's crisp and enveloping, with a saline length that lingers clean. At 13% ABV with refreshing acidity, it drinks long and asks nothing but good company and a plate of fresh fish.
The Winery — Livio Felluga
The Felluga family arrived in Friuli from Istria during the 1950s, planting vineyards when few others recognised the region's potential. They established their property in Brazzano on marl and sandstone hillsides in the Colli Orientali DOC, where cool Alpine air meets Adriatic breezes to preserve natural balance. Andrea Felluga, the current winemaker, has championed screwcap closure to protect fragrance and freshness—a forward-thinking choice made after careful experimentation. The 2024 growing season tested the vineyard with a cold spring and hailstorms, yet late-July harvest brought fruit of excellent concentration. In the cellar, the approach is classical: gentle pressing, brief skin contact, cool fermentation in stainless steel, and six months on the lees to build texture and depth.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & amp; Serving
This is Pinot Grigio built for the table. Pair it with grilled white fish, fritto misto, scallops, or antipasto that needs a wine sharp enough to cut through oil and salt. Its signature character—that interplay of sea-salt minerality and ripe stone fruit—is what makes northeastern Italy's whites so food-friendly. Chill and serve as an aperitivo, at Sunday lunch, or on a date night when you want something that drinks clean and asks for good company. This sits alongside the finest examples in our curated Pinot Grigio & Pinot Gris selection, and it's a masterclass in why this corner of Italy commands such loyal followings.
