A long time favourite of Italian white wine, Livio Felluga’s bottles have always seemed beautifully made, just the right amount of extraction, just rich enough, clean through the middle and a satisfying minerally end. Finding yourself in the so elegant town of Trieste close to the source, this seems a good way to benchmark other adventures into the local white supply. There’s a lot of interesting indigenous varieties and some uncompromising skin soaking ways. This is no disappointment, opens clean and fresh with a slightly green, nettle thing. Then there’s pear, citrus and a fresh almond swell leading to a neat mouth watering ending. Maybe you can judge a producer by how good is their cheapest bottle? This looks like your money won’t be wasted on a special bottle.
