Livio Felluga Sauvignon

Livio Felluga Sauvignon Blanc is a single-variety Sauvignon Blanc white wine produced by the Livio Felluga winery, in the DOC Friuli Colli Orientali in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.

The grapes used to make Livio Felluga Sauvignon are harvested by hand during the first ten days of September. And once they reach the winery, the clusters are gently destemmed and allowed to macerate for a short time. They are then pressed to obtain the must that ferments in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. The resulting wine is aged for six months with its fine lees in stainless steel tanks and it refines and rests in the bottle for a further two months in the winery before being sold.

Livio Felluga loved these lands that were abandoned during World War II. He spent his whole life working them with the aim of reviving viticulture because he believed that only bringing back quality cultivation would bring life back to Friuli. Felluga was right and saw his dream become a reality. Today he is thought of as the father of Friuli winemaking.
