Livio Felluga

Broad scent of exotic fruits, almond, nut, spicy notes of mint and light aromas of peach, sage and white pepper. On the palate balanced, elegant, with good acidity and harmonious complexity, typical bitter almond tone in the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

This Refosco is a complex and rich wine: it smells of ripe red fruits, liquorice and spices. On the palate it promises strength and sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE

Illivio belongs indisputably to the luxury class of white wines. Pressed from Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Picolit, with complex aromas of sweet fruit and fresh spices, it reflects the enormous potential of its origins. Optimal in its taste structure, the balanced acidity and the persistent aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Good straw color. Clean fresh and pure, with white peach, flower and lemony aromas and flavors. Long and saline. This is not at all as oaky as in past vintages. The finish echoes long with hints of peach, nectarine and herbs." Vinous

A delicate cuvée from the white grape varieties of Friuli. The bouquet of white flowers and yellow fruits has a pleasant smoky note. In the taste rich aromas of baked apple, dried apricots and honey, the balanced acidity gives backbone and structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"Straw-green with golden tinges. Initially reduced and closed down, opens slowly with aeration to offer delicately balsamic and herbal strokes to the apple and white peach notes on both the nose and in the mouth. A big, dense, very youthfully closed brooding giant white wine that needs time." Vinous

Fellugas Picolit is an exemplary example and explains the popularity and reputation of this rare and traditional sweet wine. Golden yellow colour, wonderful scent of honey, white flowers and ripe tropical fruits. The sweet and rich taste is characterized by pleasant viscosity and perfect balance. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright medium golden-yellow. Apple, peach and honey are complicated by white flower notes on the lively nose. Then similar flavors to the aromas, with a suave, light-bodied mouthfeel on entry that turns a bit tannic and chewy with aeration. Finishes long with repeating notes of floral honey and juicy orchard fruit. I like this wine’s balance and suave mouthfeel, but those who remember Livio Felluga’s very thick, viscous, rich Picolit wines of the late 90s and early 21st century will be surprised by the stylistic change this wine has undergone. Andrea Felluga told me he now prefers making a less syrupy sweet wine." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"This is one of my favorite Italian dessert wines, but I have not tasted it in a while. It's very nice to be back in front of the 2011 Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit (in a 500-milliliter bottle). This is a gorgeous wine: so delicate, so fresh, so teeming with life and spirit. Aromas of honey, candied orange peel and lightly toasted almond come bursting from the bouquet. It is impossible to compare Picolit to Italy's other sugar-heavy dessert wines. This rare grape makes for a wine that is so much more elegant and tight, and it expertly navigates any cloying or overtly sweet sensations. I just love it." Robert Parker

Sossò - the house's top red wine - made from Refosco, Merlot and Pignolo is enchanting with its warm, sunny scent physiognomy of candied citrus fruits, dried roses, mint and cream. The extremely articulated taste shoulders a convincing portion of tannin and yet steers into an intensely fruity final with grandiose length. SUPERIORE.DE
