Livio Felluga Abbazia di Rosazzo 2021

Full Product Description (From the manufacturer)

Appearance: a luminous yellow of good depth Nose: Penetrating, intense, multi-layered. Exceptional elegance, fruit and floral presence: lantana, jasmine, wisteria, acacia and orange blossom, hawthorn combine with apricot, peach, melon and grapefruit. Refined creamy notes of vanilla, custard, sweet almond and hazelnut are enriched by balsamic sensations of thyme, nettle, mint leaves and mallow. Palate: Complex and elegant. Soft attack with a lively acidic note. Richness of sensations in the palate and great consistency with the nose: Granny Smith apple, yellow peach, papaya, white flowers, citrus and balsamic hints. The tannic structure well supports the minerality. Full finish with great persistence. A restrained wine with aromas of minerals, herbs, stones, dried flowers, elderflowers, citrus zest, gooseberries, pink grapefruit and white chocolate. Very silky and medium-bodied, focused on pure elegance, with crisp if not zesty acidity and a long, salty finish. Outstanding. Drink or hold. The Livio Felluga 2021 Rosazzo Abbazia di Rosazzo is a blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla that shows a balsamic and structured profile, with notes that recall myrtle berry, alpine herbs and a slightly austere, almost "glacial" character. The wine is defined and precise, leaning into a firmer, more nervous style where Friulano-sourced from two distinct sites-plays a central role, giving a harder, more edgy expression compared to the more tropical and immediate profile found in Terre Alte. This taut, mineral-driven personality emphasizes tension and longevity, and it is worth noting that the wine was not produced in 2020, further highlighting the selective approach taken in its production. 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. Should evolve nicely with short-term cellaring. Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla. Best from 2028 through 2036. 75 cases imported.
