Livio Felluga Illivio 2024

Livio Felluga Illivio is a refined white blend from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, bringing together Chardonnay, Picolit and Pinot Bianco in a style that is both elegant and distinctive. Known for its balance of richness, minerality and aromatic complexity, it reflects the craftsmanship and vision that have made Livio Felluga one of northeastern Italy’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an intense straw-yellow color and an immediately expressive bouquet. Aromas unfold with sweet, spicy fruit, marked mineral tones and layers of pineapple, candied citrus, iris, hyacinth, aromatic herbs and walnut shell, all wrapped in a subtle, well-integrated woody note. On the palate, it is dry, textural and complex, with the freshness and precision of Friuli white wine balanced by a fuller, more rounded mouthfeel from élevage in small French oak barrels. The finish is long and nuanced, with savory mineral tension and a graceful depth that suggests excellent ageing potential.

Production
Illivio is produced in Colli Orientali del Friuli, where the vineyards benefit from a terroir well suited to aromatic, structured white wines. The grapes are carefully destemmed and briefly macerated before gentle pressing, followed by clarification through decanting. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in small French oak barrels, and the wine then matures on its lees in those same barrels for around ten months, adding texture, complexity and subtle oak influence.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile wine for refined dishes such as seafood risotto, butter-poached shellfish, roast chicken, veal, truffle pasta or creamy mushroom preparations. Serve it at around 10–12°C to highlight both its freshness and aromatic depth. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration in the glass can help open the wine’s more layered notes.

Producer
Livio Felluga is one of the defining names of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, with a legacy that began in 1956 and helped establish the region’s reputation for high-quality wines. The estate is also known for its iconic Carta Geografica label, which has become a symbol of the producer’s identity and connection to the land. Over the decades, Livio Felluga has earned widespread recognition for wines that combine precision, elegance and a strong sense of place.
