Reviewed September 2024A luscious wine with layered complexity. The nose is focused on fresh plums, black cherries, pressed flowers and leather. Graphite on the palate, with a medium body, crisp acidity and light yet tight tannins that are soft at first and then chalky. Drink or hold.
Notes
Livio Felluga’s 2018 “Sosso” Merlot Friuli Colli Orientali is a rich and refined red blend, showcasing Merlot with touches of Refosco and Pignolo for added structure and complexity. The nose is deep and elegant, with aromas of black cherry, plum, and blueberry, layered with notes of violet, sweet spice, tobacco, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and polished, with velvety tannins and balanced acidity framing ripe dark fruit, savory herbs, and earthy undertones. The finish is long and harmonious, with lingering notes of licorice, cedar, and mineral. A powerful yet graceful Friulian red with aging potential.
