The Zorzettig family own the La Tunella 65 hectare vineyard in Ipplis at the heart of the Colli Orientali, where 9 hectares of Pinot Grigio are planted to make this wine. The grapes are harvested by hand in mid September where the best grapes are selected, fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and french oak. The bouquet is full of rich tropical fruits and acacia flowers. Robust, full-bodied to the palate and moderately acidic this wine combines well with the pleasant hint of vinilla as a result of the french oak barrels. (12 x 75 cl)

Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio is light straw in colour with coppery highlights reflecting the brief period of skin contact. It is full and open on the nose, with perfumes of orange blossom and wild roses. On the palate it has good depth, with tight, restrained flavours of peach and apricot, liquorice and white pepper. It finishes long, dry, clean and fresh. The Pinot Grigio grapes were de-stemmed, without crushing the berries, and then macerated briefly on the skins before a gentle pressing. Fermentation took place between 17-19° C in temperature controlled tanks. Recently revitalised by Livio’s four children , the estate is now well on the way to reclaiming its rightful place among the great producers in Italy. The energy injected into the estate by the younger generation has been harnessed by consultant viticulturalist/winemaker Stefano Chioccioli. As a result of their combined work, the whites have acquired more intense and focused flavours, while the reds have a ripeness and suppleness that is seldom achieved in Friuli. (6 x 75 cl)
