It presents a deep ruby red \u003cstrong\u003ecolour\u003c\/strong\u003e in the glass. Its \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex bouquet\u003c\/strong\u003e unfolds gradually, releasing notes of calla lily, cedarwood, redcurrant, toasted almonds and shortcrust pastry, enriched by hints of rosemary, undergrowth and pomegranate. On the palate, it reveals a fruity and mineral structure, supported by \u003cstrong\u003eripe tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead the sip towards a persistent finish of red fruits, vanilla and juniper berries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine takes its name from the Sosso stream, which borders the historic hills of Rosazzo in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003eoldest vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e of the estate in the Colli Orientali del Friuli. Livio Felluga adopts the principles of \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated pest management\u003c\/strong\u003e to reduce environmental impact and protect local biodiversity. This allows the most authentic nuances of the \u003cstrong\u003eFriulian terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e and the essence of the cultivated varieties to be transferred into the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification process begins with destemming and gentle crushing of the bunches. Fermentation takes place with \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e in stainless steel tanks and truncated-cone vats. For about three weeks, frequent pump-overs are carried out to encourage the extraction of colour and aromatic components from the skins. After racking, the wines are blended and transferred to small \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where they mature for eighteen months. The process is completed with a significant \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e for a further eighteen months in temperature-controlled environments, an essential phase to harmonise the tannic texture and perfect the elegance of the bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in 1989, \u003cstrong\u003eSosso Rosso Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e takes its name from the stream of the same name that flows at the foot of the historic Rosazzo hills. This Friulian masterpiece is born from the estate’s oldest vineyards, harmoniously blending Merlot, Pignolo and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso grapes. A symbol of the Livio Felluga winery, founded in 1956, the wine patiently matures in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, developing exceptional elegance.
