A lovely Thanksgiving wine to help along every course from oyster appetizers to pumpkin pie, the Livio Felluga 2017 Rosazzo Abbazia di Rosazzo is a beautiful choice made from a carefully contemplated blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla. The wine is balanced and bountiful with orchard fruit, peach, honey and Golden Delicious apple. There is so much intensity and brightness here, and each one of the individual grapes fits together with jigsaw puzzle precision. The warm vintage adds softness, extra density and concentration. But the wine is elegant, fresh and mineral-driven nonetheless. If you are looking for a benchmark white from Friuli, look no further.

A firm backbone of acidity creates a lithe, vibrant frame for the rich flavors of Anjou pear, pineapple, chamomile and lemon meringue in this medium- to full-bodied white. A subtle toasty underpinning gains momentum on the lingering finish. Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla.
