Pinot Grigio 'Mongris' Marco Felluga 2024

The Pinot Grigio “Mongris” by Marco Felluga is a wine whose name comes from the fusion of the words “monovarietal” and Pinot Grigio, referred to by the nickname “Gris.” It plays on the winery's ability to accurately and comprehensively represent the main traits of the varietal used, enhancing the elegance of the fruit on the nose and the good structure on the palate. A very versatile label in its use, it stylishly accompanies various recipes and preparations, pairing well with white meats cooked simply.  

The “Mongris” Marco Felluga is a Pinot Grigio that is assembled from three different parcels, located respectively in Farra d’Isonzo, San Floriano, and Cormòns. The soil profile, situated at altitudes ranging from 80 to 250 meters above sea level, has a hilly morphology and is of Eocene origin, characterized by the presence of marls and sandstones. The grapes are destemmed, and a cold maceration is then carried out. After a light pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks where the temperature is kept under control. The wine is left to rest on the fine lees for 6 months in steel, and at the end of this period, the winery proceeds with the bottling operations. 

The “Mongris” Pinot Grigio made by the Marco Felluga winery develops in the glass with a bright golden color, characterized by some more coppery streaks. The nose opens up to various floral nuances, which gradually lose intensity, bringing forth aromas that evoke aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, harmonious, with a sip that flows with a fruity taste progression, closing with a persistent finish. A label that pays homage to one of the most important grape varieties in the Collio Friulano area, cultivated in these areas since the mid-nineteenth century.
