Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio 2018

Description

From the Importers’ Website: This celebrated variety derives from a bud mutation of Pinot Noir. Pinot Grigio favours cooler climates u0026amp; finds its ideal habitat on the hillsides. Livio Felluga’s vinification technique gives the wine finesse u0026amp; elegance while preserving the faint coppery highlights that are Pinot Grigio’s hallmark. Without doubt, it is the best-known Friulian wine around the world. Vinification: The grapes are carefully destemmed u0026amp; left to macerate for a short period. Next, the fruit is soft crushed. The must obtained is then allowed to settle. The now-clarified must fermentes in temperatured controlled stainless steel tanks. Appearance: Brilliant yellow with rosy u0026amp; coppery tones. Nose: Complex, powerful u0026amp; enveloping. Rich and multi-layered: the flower contribution of orange blossom, daisy u0026amp; white wisteria develops in ripe fruit notes: apricot, Percoca peach, white melon u0026amp; yellow peach. Sweet sensations of custard u0026amp; creme brule are in perfect balance with the freshness of citrus fruit. Palate: Crisp, ample u0026amp; compact. Full, progressive. The attack is complex u0026amp; velvety, fresh, embracing. Excellent aromatic accord with the nose: pineapple, melon, Nashi pear, yellow peach u0026amp; sweet pastry notes enhanced by lively freshness u0026amp; pleasant savory notes. The finish is fresh, tense u0026amp; very persistent with citrus u0026amp; white fruit aftertaste. Serving suggestions: A particularly good match for fish, seashell, risottos u0026amp; baked vegetables.
