Cool Wines from Italy's North-East
Ruggeri • Livio Felluga • Scarbolo
At the height of summer, few things reward you quite like a well-chilled glass of taut white or fine sparkling wine.
Why Italy's North-East? Poised between the cooling breath of the Alps and the tempering Adriatic, regions such as Friuli and the Veneto are blessed with a naturally cool climate. The pronounced swing in night-time temperature safeguards vibrant acidity and preserves bright, precise fruit within the grapes. The result is a style that is inherently linear, crisp and gloriously refreshing.
Captivating on their own and consummate partners for salads or seafood, we have chosen three exceptional producers from Northern Italy whose whites and sparkling wines earn their place in any cellar through the warmer months.
Ruggeri: The Pinnacle of Prosecco (Veneto)
"Ruggeri's quality is remarkably high, arguably the highest in Conegliano Valdobbiadene"
Founded in 1950, Ruggeri lifts sparkling wine to a genuinely serious plane. Their flagship "Giustino B." has earned Gambero Rosso's coveted "3 Glasses" an astonishing 10 times. Painstakingly crafted, these bright, precise and refreshing Proseccos make a persuasive case that the appellation belongs in any serious conversation about fine wine.
Livio Felluga: The Benchmark of Friuli (Friuli Venezia Giulia)
Winner of the "White Wine of the Year Award" – Gambero Rosso 2022
Established in 1956 by the legendary Livio Felluga, this estate remains the reference point for North-Eastern Italian whites. Cultivated on steep, mineral-rich slopes, their wines centre on indigenous varietals such as Friulano, Pinot Grigio and Ribolla Gialla. Expect true elegance, effortless poise and mouth-watering finesse in every bottle.
Scarbolo: The Pinot Grigio Pioneer (Friuli)
Crafting wines of remarkable intensity and authentic farming heritage.
Just 15km from the Slovenian border, Scarbolo is a family estate that spurns fleeting fashions in favour of honest, intense wines. While they cherish native varietals, their deepest conviction lies with Pinot Grigio. Working in a textured, expressive idiom, Scarbolo proves this classic grape can be genuinely complex, refreshing and full of soul.

Ruggeri, Giall'Oro Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry NV
"Best Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadenes" by Decanter
If you assume all Prosecco sings the same tune, Giall'Oro will recast that view without straining the budget. Drawn from the steep, premium hillsides of Valdobbiadene, this bottle carries an unmistakable measure of care and quality. It strikes a deft balance between vibrant, expressive fruit and a clean, refreshing cut that marks it out as a distinct step above the everyday.
Ruggeri, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOCG Giustino B Extra Dry 2024
Awarded "Sparkling of the Year" & 10-Time "Tre Bicchieri" Winner — Gambero Rosso
Giustino B ranks among the estate's flagship cuvées, a vintage Prosecco drawn from 80- to 100-year-old vines in the high-altitude Valdobbiadene hills. This is a superbly judged and complex Prosecco of great crispness and pristine sharpness. As a vintage-dated wine hewn from old vines nestled high in the alpine hills, it delivers considerable complexity, crispness and pristine definition at a keen price. It offers far more than its class would suggest, lending real distinction to any occasion.
Livio Felluga, Friulano 2022
[Friuli's Native Varietal Par Excellence]
If you seek something with genuine sense of place, Friulano is Friuli's signature white grape—a variety that grows nowhere better and answers to no other. This bottle is a study in balance, charm and quiet elegance, bringing a lovely, creamy richness to the palate while remaining remarkably refreshing. It offers something you simply cannot find in the familiar international varieties: the unmistakable, savoury imprint of its native soil.
Livio Felluga, Pinot Grigio 2024
[A Gorgeous and Textbook Pinot Grigio]
Cast aside the flat, forgettable Pinot Grigios you may know—this is a textbook expression from the variety's spiritual home in northern Italy. It is vibrant, energetic and thoroughly refreshing, at once effortless and genuinely sophisticated. Ideal for reviving the palate after a long day, it is a crisp white worth keeping chilled and close to hand.
Scarbolo, Venezia Giulia IGT My Time Bianco 2018
[A Willful Wine with its Own Sense of Time]
If you are after an affordable white with real depth and personality, My Time is an outright standout—a serious, age-worthy white made only in the finest vintages. Everything about it, from blend to bottle, is geared towards the long haul. Co-fermented and refined in 500-litre French oak, then released only when Scarbolo judges it ready, it rewards patience like few whites at this price.
Scarbolo, Friuli DOC Pinot Grigio 2024
[Born of Red Clay, Built on Texture]
Grown exclusively on high-density estate vines and rested for months on its fine lees, this is a Pinot Grigio of real texture and substance: round, silky and layered where others are simply crisp. This is the characterful, food-loving side of the grape, a white with genuine presence in the glass.
