Felluga’s 2009 Pinot Grigio shows good varietal character, along with an extra touch of juiciness. Streaks of smoke, crushed rocks and jasmine mark the focused, well-articulated finish. This generous, fleshy Pinot Grigio is best enjoyed over the next year or two. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013. Importer: Mionetto USA, Brooklyn, NY; tel. (718) 596-3339

Livio Felluga’s Pinot Grigio is distinguished by a thick, creamy mouthfeel and abundant aromas of peach, wild flower and vanilla cream. The wine is clean and pristine, yet structured and smooth at the same time. Very nice.——M.L.(11/1/2010)—— 88
