This Friulian expression offers a profound tasting experience, characterised by an impeccable balance between sugary richness and vibrant acidity. Ageing on the lees gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and pronounced savouriness, completing a complex and satisfying structure.

The history of the Picolit grape variety has ancient roots, documented since the eighteenth century, when it was already regularly appreciated by European nobility. The secret of its style lies in the physiology of the plant, subject to a natural phenomenon of \u003cstrong\u003epartial floral fertilisation\u003c\/strong\u003e. This agronomic peculiarity drastically reduces fruit development, leaving very few berries on each bunch. The result is a marked \u003cstrong\u003earomatic concentration\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of offering the palate a dense and persistent fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, selecting only bunches that have reached perfect ripeness. In the winery, after gentle destemming, the fruit undergoes a brief maceration in contact with the skins, followed by soft pressing and must decantation. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in small \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, maintaining great aromatic precision. Before completing its evolution in the bottle, the wine rests for a long time on its own \u003cstrong\u003elees\u003c\/strong\u003e, a crucial step to enrich its flavour profile and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidered the noblest wine of Friuli, \u003cstrong\u003eLivio Felluga Picolit\u003c\/strong\u003e boasts ancient and fascinating origins, documented as far back as 1750.
