WINE DESCRIPTION
Livio Felluga Illivio is a premium white wine produced by Livio Felluga, a renowned winery in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, and Picolit grapes grown in the vineyards of Rosazzo. The vineyards are located on steep hillsides with unique soil composition and microclimate, which impart distinctive flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in oak barrels, followed by aging in the bottle. The resulting wine is elegant, complex, and full-bodied, with notes of tropical fruits, citrus, and vanilla. It is a perfect match for hard cheeses, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.
