2019 Livio Felluga Sosso Colli Orientali del Friuli 750ml

Experience the soulful complexity of Italy’s northeast with the 2019 Livio Felluga "Sosso" Colli Orientali del Friuli 750ml at VS Liquor. Named after the stream that flows at the foot of the hill where the vines are planted, Sosso is the flagship red of the legendary Livio Felluga estate. This Riserva-level wine is a masterfully crafted blend of Merlot and Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, with a touch of Pignolo, sourced from the oldest vineyards on the Rosazzo hills. The 2019 vintage in Friuli is celebrated for its balance and aromatic intensity. After aging for 18 months in French oak barriques and more than a year in the bottle, this wine emerges as a profound expression of Friulian "ponca" soil—a unique flysch of marl and sandstone that imparts a singular mineral backbone to the fruit.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, delivering a concentrated core of dark fruit framed by elegant, fine-grained tannins and a long, persistent finish with a savory, stony mineral lift.
