A landmark wine for the region, the Livio Felluga 2017 Rosazzo Terre Alte is a careful blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon packaged in a heavy bottle with the estate's distinctive geographic map depicted on the front label. The 2017 vintage threw some big challenges at vintners with hot summer temperatures and excessive rains in September. However, white varieties such as the ones used in this blend managed a good window for optimal ripening. The wine is deceptive, and I mean that in a good way. On first examination, the bouquet feels fruity and lean. But as the fibre of the wine settles on the palate, you are made aware of the unexpected complexity and depth delivered in a second wave. The wine rushes with intensity. Fruit, peach, and honey segue to crushed sandstone and dried basil. This is a keeper.
Livio Felluga is a renowned winery located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. The winery was founded by Livio Felluga in the 1950s, and it has since become one of the most respected producers of white wines in Italy.
Terre Alte is one of the flagship wines of Livio Felluga, and it is a blend of three grape varieties: Friulano, Pinot Bianco, and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are grown in the Collio DOC zone, which is known for its ideal growing conditions for white wines.
The production of Terre Alte begins with the careful selection of the grapes, which are harvested by hand and then sorted to ensure only the best grapes are used. The grapes are then gently pressed, and the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for 10 months, which gives it a complex and elegant flavour profile. The wine has a bright golden colour and a bouquet of ripe fruit, honey, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with a long and persistent finish.
Terre Alte is a wine that is best enjoyed with food, particularly seafood, white meats, and creamy pasta dishes. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to age for several years.
Overall, Terre Alte is a wine that showcases the quality and craftsmanship of Livio Felluga. It is a wine that is elegant, complex, and full of character, and it is a testament to the winery's commitment to producing the finest white wines in Italy.
If you're looking for a white wine that is full of flavour and complexity, then Terre Alte is the perfect choice. With its bright golden colour, complex bouquet, and full-bodied palate, it is a wine that is sure to impress.
