Livio Felluga, Friuli Colli Orientali (Italy) Pinot Grigio 2020

Sep 10, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 The Livio Felluga 2020 Friuli Colli Orientali Pinot Grigio Curubella displays a coppery hue, or "ramato" in Italian, thanks to minimal skin contact.  Aged in amphorae, it develops a textural richness rarely found in standard Pinot Grigio.  This depth carries through to both the aromas and flavors, where notes of peach skin, mandarin, grapefruit, and a hint of spicy saffron burst forth.  It is a striking example of the traditional Pinot Grigio style that has defined the region for centuries.
