Dried mango, white pineapple and preserved apricot open in a cloud of plumeria and citrus oil, like a tropical afternoon with absolutely no agenda. The palate brings peach jam forward, grounded by crushed stone and a whisper of herb, with a pleasant bitterness arriving at the finish to keep the fruit honest. Textured and weighty but bright enough to stay light on its feet.

Aromas of restrained stone fruit, peach peel, ferns, lemon leaves, flowers, iodine, stones and minerals. Very silky and smooth on the medium-bodied palate, almost leesy, yet balanced by crisp acidity, with tension in the long and savory finish. Drink now.

The Livio Felluga 2024 Friuli Colli Orientali Friulano shows classic varietal character, with white flowers, green pea and citrus leaning toward bergamot and kumquat, alongside hints of sweet almond and light botrytis complexity. The palate is glossy and textural, shaped by about 80% malolactic fermentation and partial aging in terracotta orcio, giving a creamy, almost pastry-like richness reminiscent of lemon cream. Subtle vegetal and mineral tones—willow, herbs and a saline edge—add depth, while a touch of residual sugar enhances roundness without weighing down the wine.

The 2024 Friulano opens with crushed yellow apples, peaches, white smoke and sage in the glass. It is silken and pliant on the palate, with a pretty inner sweetness and ripe pit fruits offset by a subtle tropical inflection of green melon toward the close. It tapers off with a sour citrus twang that forces the senses to salivate as a saline note lingers.

Concentrated yellow fruits, apple and guava ring out, with fleshiness and sapidity in equal measure. The finish is long and fresh, with a pleasant herbal waft. Vinified in stainless steel with several months on the lees.
