Livo Felluga's second top cuvée Abbazia di Rosazzo is closely linked to the abbey of the same name, a centuries-old centre of Friulian wine culture. The blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Ribolla Gialla comes from steep vineyards with marl and sandstone soils. The climate between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea ensures warm days, cool nights and a long growing season – ideal conditions for aromatic precision and elegant acidity. The 2019 vintage brought a balanced ripeness with cool minerality and fine structure. After being harvested by hand, the wine was matured on the fine lees, partly in stainless steel and partly in wood, giving it depth and complexity.

Brilliant golden yellow colour. The nose seduces with ripe Williams pear, white peach, lime blossom, candied lemon and a hint of vanilla, hazelnut and meadow herbs. Complex and harmonious on the palate, with a creamy texture, lively acidity, fine salinity and a wide aromatic range. The final is long, elegant and characterised by mineral freshness. Abbazia di Rosazzo combines history, terroir and craftsmanship to create a great Friulian white wine that needs time and air to develop its full potential – a contemplative wine with soul and depth.

"This is Friuli in a glass. A brilliant blend of five indigenous varieties that captures the soul of the region. Acacia honey leads the aromatic opening, followed by delicate hawthorn and lime blossom, freshly cut apples, bright lemon peel and dried ginestra flowers. On the palate, it performs a beautiful balancing act: tart citrus notes of bitter orange and grapefruit hover over creamy panna cotta, while a salty mineral note and subtle marjoram add lift and complexity. It is both lively and creamy, a wine that speaks of its place with eloquence and poise." Wine Enthusiast

"A mineral-driven white, creamy on the palate but well-cut by refreshing acidity. Rich but well-balanced, though compact today, with lightly honeyed notes of poached pear, apricot, preserved lemon, creamed almond and mountain herbs gaining greater expression in the glass." Wine Spectator

"The 2021 Abbazia di Rosazzo is savoury through and through, with a cascade of lemon peel, rosemary, ginger shavings and a hint of pine forming its vibrant bouquet. Silky textures underpinned by vibrant acidity unfold on the palate with a pure blend of stone fruit and minerals. This wine is incredibly long and powerful, with an austere, savoury note that pinches the cheeks as the mouth waters and a hint of sour melon fades. The contrasting nature of the 2021 Abbazia di Rosazzo is extremely attractive. It is a single-vineyard blend of Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla." Vinous
