Created in 1998 by Livio Felluga’s children, who dedicated the wine to him for his 85th birthday, illivio reflects the personality of the family’s “Patriarch”, uniting strength with elegance.
Mainly trained in the Guyot system, the vines benefit from marl and sandstone soils of Eocene origin. The 2021 harvest took place in the first half of September. The healthy and perfectly ripe grapes are harvested by hand, in small crates, to preserve the integrity of the berry. Carefully destemmed and left to macerate for a short period, the fruit is then soft crushed and the must obtained is allowed to settle. The must ferments at controlled temperatures in small oak casks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine settles on the lees in the small oak casks for a few months to enhance savouriness, creaminess and aging potential. The bottled wine was aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars.
