The estate takes its name from its founder, Livio Felluga, who came to the region in the 1930s. Today, it is famous for its blended white wines made from the region's most planted white varieties, including Friulano and Sauvignon Blanc. Livio Felluga's family has a winemaking history that goes back six generations to Isola d'Istria in Slovenia. He purchased his first few hectares of vineyard in Rosazzo in the 1950s and immediately set to work restoring and replanting the old vineyards. Livio Felluga subsequently acquired a wine cellar in Brazzano to allow for the expansion of the estate's wine production. Today the estate stretches over more than 187 hectares (462 acres) of vines in Collio Goriziano and Colli Orientali del Friuli. The Livio Felluga estate also encompasses the cellars and vineyards of the historic Abbazia di Rosazzo (Abbey of Rosazzo), where it creates its distinctive white wine blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla – the Abbazia di Rosazzo. Alongside the Abbazia di Rosazzo, Livio Felluga's white wine portfolio includes a number of internationally recognized varietal wines such as Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio, as well as several notable regional grape varieties from Picolit to Friulano. These local white grape varieties are also present in the estate's carefully crafted selection of blended white wines. While the majority of Livio Felluga's wines are white, the estate is devoted to creating a select collection of red wines, such as its Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, varietal Merlot and a Pignolo blend predominantly sourced from the estate's Sossò vineyard.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-24T17:28:47-04:00","created_at":"2023-07-19T06:36:39-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK1907","Other_Wine","Producer_Livio Felluga","Region_Friuli-Venezia Giulia","Source_Wevino0723","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Merlot"],"price":26195,"price_min":26195,"price_max":26195,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43043107176586,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Livio Felluga | Merlot Colli Orientali del Friuli","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":26195,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/1_4ed91e86-7cee-4197-8f0f-2d00787182bc.webp?v=1689763417"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/1_4ed91e86-7cee-4197-8f0f-2d00787182bc.webp?v=1689763417","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Livio Felluga | Merlot Colli Orientali del Friuli at CaskCartel.com","id":24815371583626,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1763,"width":1763,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/1_4ed91e86-7cee-4197-8f0f-2d00787182bc.webp?v=1689763417"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1763,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/1_4ed91e86-7cee-4197-8f0f-2d00787182bc.webp?v=1689763417","width":1763}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Livio Felluga | Merlot Colli Orientali del Friuli\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntense ruby red color with purple hues The nose is lively and elegant, hints of small red fruits, red currant, blueberry and gooseberry blend with notes of leather, blond tobacco leaf, wild mint and sage, hints of undergrowth, fern, conifers in harmony with notes of licorice and white pepper, persistent aftertaste of fresh and sweet spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Livio Felluga\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Merlot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Italy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntense ruby red color with purple hues The nose is lively and elegant, hints of small red fruits, red currant, blueberry and gooseberry blend with notes of leather, blond tobacco leaf, wild mint and sage, hints of undergrowth, fern, conifers in harmony with notes of licorice and white pepper, persistent aftertaste of fresh and sweet spices.
