Convinced of the winemaking potential inherent in Collio and the Colli Orientali of Friuli, he bucked the trend of the times and started buying vineyards. Their landmark Terre Alte was first produced in 1981 and they have continued to make innovative and consistently high quality wines since. Winemaker Andrea Felluga has embraced stelvin in a characteristically forward-looking way. After experimenting with the closure for five years, he felt confident in using the stelvin closure to retain freshness and perfume in his wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe quality of the Felluga range is in large part due to the fact that the fruit is grown on their 200 hectare property, which includes some of the finest vineyards in Friuli. The fruit for this wine come from their vineyards in the Colli Orientali DOC zone. Vines are planted on hillsides and the soil is marl and sandstone flysch of Eocene origin. The vines are Guyot trained, with an ecologically sustainable approach to viticulture.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe grapes were destemmed without crushing and briefly macerated on the skins before undergoing gentle pressing. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where the wine was subsequently matured on its lees for six months. It was then aged in bottle for a further two months prior to release.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is straw-yellow in colour with delicate coppery hues. The nose is intense yet elegant, opening with aromas of melon and candied fruit, followed by notes of stone fruit and flowers, alongside subtle hints of brioche, honey and flint.  On the palate it is full-bodied, crisp and rounded, with a fresh, enveloping entry marked by mineral and savoury nuances. The finish is very long and persistent, leaving a refined fruity and saline aftertaste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Suggestion:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e A particularly good match with fish and shellfish, risottos and baked vegetables.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Livio Felluga","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":1243583053852,"sku":"WOLWH2863S","price":204.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":1243583086620,"sku":"WOLWH2864S","price":408.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":58093279773003,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Livio_Felluga_Pinot_Grigio.jpg?v=1786364587","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/livio-felluga-pinot-grigio","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
