Their landmark ‘Terre Alte’ was first produced in 1981 and they have continued to make innovative, consistently high-quality wines ever since. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of the Felluga range can largely be attributed to the fruit being grown on their 200 hectare property, which is divided into 300 parcels. The estate's vineyards straddle provincial borders, being located in both Colli Orientali and Collio. Their most prized possession is the holding at Rosazzo, where their Merlot and the grape varieties used in the famed 'Terre Alte' blend are planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Livio Felluga estate now owns 200 hectares in Rosazzo, divided into 300 vineyard parcels, and is now run by Livio's four children (Andrea, Maurizio, Elda and Filippo). The energy injected into the estate by the younger generation has been harnessed by consultant viticulturalist\/winemaker Stefano Chioccioli. As a result of their combined work, the whites have acquired more intense and focused flavours, seldom achieved in Friuli. The soils are marl and sandstone flysch of Eocene origin. The vines are Guyot-trained, with an ecologically sustainable approach to viticulture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGrapes were hand picked in small crates. Then they were carefully destemmed and left to macerate for a short period. Next, the fruit was softly crushed. The must obtained was then allowed to settle. The now-clarified must fermented at controlled temperatures in small casks of French oak, where it matured for about ten month, followed by a further two months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntense bright yellow. On the nose, the wine is fragrant, elegant and intense with aromas of lime blossom, gorse and camellia with fruity hints of apricots, quince, vanilla pods and sweet spices. On the palate, it is full and compact showing hints of yellow apple, apricots, honeydew melon and papaya. The finish is creamy with a touch of sour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Suggestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pairs beautifully with fish, risottos, and fresh cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Livio Felluga","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":1243932950556,"sku":"WOLWH2865S","price":306.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":1243932983324,"sku":"WOLWH2866S","price":612.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":58093377487179,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Livio_Felluga_Illivio_jpg.jpg?v=1786366699","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/livio-felluga-illivio-pinot-bianco-chardonnay-picolit","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
