Livio Felluga Terre Alte Rosazzo Bianco Colli Orientali del Friuli 2021

ITALY : FRIULI : ROSAZZO DOCG Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon FULL-BODIED, WHITE PEACH, DRIED APRICOT, TOASTED ALMOND, HAZELNUT, NEUTRAL OAK Terre Alte — "high lands" — has been Livio Felluga's flagship white for decades, sourced from estate vineyards surrounding the Abbazia di Rosazzo, a Benedictine monastery with continuous winegrowing records dating to 1070. The blend ferments in stainless steel to preserve freshness, then rests in large Slavonian oak for six months — enough to integrate without leaving a wood signature. The 2021 vintage produced excellent fruit concentration after a warm, dry summer, and the wine carries Rosazzo's characteristic mineral edge despite its weight. James Suckling 94 pts. PAIRINGS : Grilled branzino with lemon butter the wine's texture and mineral finish match the sea-freshness of the fish Prosciutto di San Daniele with aged Montasio the classic Friulian pairing — the salt amplifies the stone fruit Crab ravioli with brown butter Friulano's weight handles the richness; the Sauvignon's herbal note lifts the finish
