Description
Feliciana is located in Pozzolengo, a small town located in the shadow of the Tower of San Martino della Battaglia—close to the beautiful town of Sirmione—in the southern region of Garda Lake. Feliciana was founded by brothers Massimo and Giorgio Sbruzzi in 1984, when, with the wise help of their father Sergio, they start producing wine for personal (and few close friends’) enjoyment. At that time, they also bred cattle—a pursuit that was widely practiced in the area. Over the years, as demand for their wines both locally and abroad grew, they gradually converted all of their acreage from animal feed into more than 25 hectares of vineyards and a full production winery.
A blend of Marzemino, Groppello, Barbera, Sangiovese, the grapes were grown without the use of any type of fertilizer or chemical herbicides in the vineyard, relying instead on the use of cover crops. The grapes were carefully hand harvested. The red grapes underwent a quick maceration before being gently pressed. The white varietals were traditionally vinified in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The wines were then combined and aged four months on the lees before bottling, with an additional month of bottle conditioning before release.
Delightful bouquet with scents of red fruits and citrus. The pale if fresh and juicy with flavors of ripe yellow peach and nectarine, red currant, sour cherry and lemon. Gracefully textured with mouthwatering acidity through the bright finish.
