General Information
Livio Felluga Pinot Grigio 2022 is a single-varietal white wine made from Pinot Grigio, favored by the cold climates on the slopes of the northern Italian mountains, where it finds its ideal habitat.
The selected vineyards that nourish this wine are located on marl and sandstone soils and are hand-harvested. Once the selected grapes are transported to the winery, the winemaking process begins. The grapes are carefully destemmed and left to macerate. After a gentle pressing, the obtained must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. In the same tanks, the wine ages on its lees for six months, and is refined for two more months in the bottle. The result is a white wine with great finesse and elegance, recognizable by its coppery reflections typical of Pinot Grigio.
