Livio Felluga produces this sensational blend that praises the denomination DOC “Friuli Colli Orientali Bianco”. It is composed by Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Picolit. The vineyards are trained with Guyot method on lands characterized by marls and sandstones of Eocenic origin. This wine was created in 1998 by the sons of Livio Felluga and it is dedicated to him for its 85th anniversary. It represents the personality of the “Patriarch”, expressing strength and elegance. The wine-making considers the elimination of stalks and a brief period of maceration. After the soft pressing, the must is clarified through static decanting. The fermentation is managed in small barrels made of French oak at controlled temperature. It is followed by 10 months aging on lees, in steel. After the bottling, the wine is stocked in thermo-conditioned rooms.
