The white Chardonnay by Livio Felluga is born in a winery that represents an icon of the Colli Orientali of Friuli. Since the 1950s, it has directed production towards quality, aware of the value of one of the most vocated territories in our peninsula for the production of great whites, both with indigenous and international grapes. The Chardonnay vineyards are located in a well-sunny hilly area and always ventilated. The soils are composed of flysch, called in Friulian ponca, a sedimentation of marls and sandstones derived from ancient marine outcrops. These are stony and poor lands, very rich in mineral substances and particularly suitable for excellence in viticulture. The harvest is done manually during the second half of September. After destemming, the grapes undergo a short cold maceration and then a soft pressing. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Before proceeding to bottling, the wine matures on the lees for several months, still in steel, in order to enrich itself with structure and aromatic complexity.

The sip offers creamy sensations, a rich and ripe fruit well balanced by freshness and sapidity that lead to a finish of good taste persistence.
