Grape Varieties: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Ribolla Gialla
Tasting Notes: Of great balance and freshness. Hints of tropical fruit are harmoniously linked to a lively savory note. Long and persistent, it expresses a pleasant minerality on the finish. Fresh and intense aromas of white fruit and Mediterranean scrub. Hints of jasmine, elderberry, and juniper express character and elegance and blend with notes of exotic fruit and lemon peel with delicately balsamic hints.
Food Pairing: Excellent as an aperitif, it goes very well with asparagus, vegetable soups, legume purees, and marinated fish.
Livio Felluga, returning from war-torn Europe, found his family`s land in Friuli abandoned. Undeterred, he saw potential in the neglected vineyards of Rosazzo. With grit and vision, he revived the ancient vines, introducing innovative techniques and championing local grapes alongside international varieties. His dedication blossomed into a winery that became synonymous with quality and terroir, earning him the title "patriarch of Friulian wines." Today, the iconic map label tells the story of his resilience, and the family continues to craft exceptional wines that sing of their unique land.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the "Big Daddy" of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world. It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.
Burgundy is Chardonnay`s spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvelous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.
Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
