Livio Felluga
Colli Orientali del Friuli Tocai Friulano
Colli Orientali Del Friuli, Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
The 2018 Friulano wafts up a spicy, perfumed display of dusty white flowers, peach and apricot, giving way to hints of bergamot and spiced yellow citrus. Soft in texture, this provides a round and pliant feel, yet contrasts it wonderfully with salty minerals before settling on ripe melon and an air of wild herbs. It’s refreshing and well-delineated in both posture and flavors, tapering off to inner floral tones. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2021)

Made for seafood. I had it with sushi, but obviously Italian cuisine is your best bet.

Rich, textured, and a little funky while retaining freshness and length.

Oh, hello, Friulano!! A local specialty of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in the far northeast of Italy. 🇮🇹
This beautiful wine is the Livio Felluga Friuli Colli Orientali DOC Friulano (2021).
Livio Felluga was an early adopter and pioneer of modern production techniques in the region, employing the use of stainless steel tanks, delicate grape pressing, and temperature-controlled (cooler) fermentations to produce clean, varietal-driven and refreshing white wine styles the region is now known for 🙌🏻👏🏻
The fruit used to make this wine hails from the Colli Orientali DOC, situated on hillside sites, stretching along the border of Slovenia, benefiting from higher altitudes, and cooling Alpine breezes, in support of a firm acid structure.
👁️ This wine has a medium lemon hue with a medium (+) bouquet 👃🏻 of white peach, green apple, Meyer lemon, clementine peel, green mango, white blossom, mint, basil, rosemary, white pepper, and wet pavement (petrichor).
👄 On the palate, this wine has a rich texture and weighted mouthfeel, balanced by medium (+) acidity, supporting its structure, while adding freshness and lift. Flavors are consistent with the nose – well-defined and concentrated. Alcohol is medium (13.5% ABV) with a warming presence.
We paired this lovely wine with smoked salmon canapés made with lemon-marinated cucumbers and crème fraiche, lemon zest, shallot, fresh dill and chives on Norwegian crispbread, and was a stellar match-up! 🤩
Cheers to the pioneers who’ve shaped the evolution in wine styles we’ve come to know and love!

OK...a 10 year old Friulano? Why not. Nice solid medium gold color. Pear, lemon peel, forest floor... not gonna get any better, but good enough for Monday Night Greek. Nice dinner drink!
