Felluga Marco
Mongris is Marco Felluga's benchmark Collio Pinot Grigio, hand-picked on Eocene ponca hills and rested six months on the fine lees. Acacia, broom and golden apple lead to a structured, mineral palate with a long, almond-edged finish.
Marco Felluga's Collio Pinot Grigio shows acacia flower, broom and golden apple over a saline, ponca-driven palate, with six months on the fine lees giving it more body and grip than most Pinot Grigio. The 2024 carries Falstaff 91/100.
Marco Felluga's Mongris opens with the acacia flower and broom the producer names, lifted by golden apple and a wisp of aromatic herb. There is a faint waxy, almond note that marks Collio Pinot Grigio rather than a neutral northern style. The colour, golden with coppery glints, hints at the brief cold maceration on the skins.

AlmondSix months on the fine lees in steel build a textured, structured palate that drinkers consistently call fuller than typical Pinot Grigio. Ripe pear and apple sit over a saline, stony line drawn from the Eocene ponca of Farra d'Isonzo, San Floriano and Cormons. Acidity stays bright and moderate alcohol keeps it balanced rather than heavy.
The close is long for the grape, with a gentle bitter-almond grip and a return of mineral salinity. It lingers cleanly rather than turning broad or soft.
A benchmark Collio Pinot Grigio that earns its Falstaff 91/100 and a steady 3.8 to 3.9 across thousands of Vivino drinkers who praise its body and food flexibility. Drink it as a serious aperitivo or with seafood, mushroom risotto and white meats over the next three to four years.
Mongris reaches the UK through specialist merchants such as Great Wines Direct and GreatWine, with the 2024 and 2025 vintages around 19 to 23 GBP a bottle. Italian cellar pricing sits near 13 to 15 EUR, the difference largely duty, VAT and import margin.
An aromatic, food-flexible Collio white that rates highly for pairing and approachability, fair on value at around 19 GBP, and modest on cellar potential given its fresh, unoaked, drink-young style.
Pinot Grigio is the most approachable Italian white grape and Mongris is a clean, fruit-forward, mid-priced example, easy for newcomers while still showing real Collio character.
Aromatic, structured Collio white with bright acidity and saline minerality; pairs across seafood, mushroom risotto, fresh cheese and white meat, far more flexible than neutral Pinot Grigio.
Lowest UK price about 19.43 GBP against an Italian cellar price near 13 to 15 EUR; hillside fruit, six months on lees and 90-plus critic scores make it fair value a notch above supermarket Pinot Grigio.
Hugely drinkable and food-friendly, but at around 19 to 23 GBP it sits a step above a weeknight pour, better kept for a considered midweek dinner or weekend table.

Both current releases are hand-picked on the Collio hills and rested six months on the lees in steel. The 2024 earned Falstaff 91/100; the 2025 is the fresh current release. Each drinks best within three to four years of harvest.
The current release, hand-picked on the Collio hills and rested six months on the fine lees. A bright, youthful Pinot Grigio to enjoy over its first few years.
A well-received Collio vintage for Mongris: Falstaff awarded the 2024 91/100 in its Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy. Fresh and structured, drinking well now through about 2028.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Marco Felluga helped define modern Collio from its Gradisca d'Isonzo cellar, and Mongris is its flagship Pinot Grigio off Eocene ponca hills at Farra d'Isonzo, San Floriano and Cormons. Consistent 90-plus critic scores reflect that pedigree.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Collio Goriziano/Collio is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Collio Goriziano/Collio falls within Friuli Venezia Giulia , covering Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Mongris is drawn from Collio parcels at Farra d'Isonzo, San Floriano and Cormons, 80 to 250m on Eocene ponca; hand-harvesting steep hill rows costs far more than machine-picked flatland Pinot Grigio.
The wine rests six months on its fine lees in temperature-controlled steel before bottling, tying up tank space and adding labour that builds its texture, well beyond a quick-release commercial Pinot Grigio.
Mongris carries Falstaff 91/100 for 2024 plus Gambero Rosso Due Bicchieri and Veronelli 89/100; that record from a founding Collio estate supports a UK price near 19 to 23 GBP.
Mongris sees no wood, so there is no barrel programme to recover; that keeps it below oak-aged Collio whites despite the cost of the hillside fruit.
UK alcohol duty on a still wine at 13% ABV adds 2.67 GBP per bottle before VAT, so roughly 6 GBP of the 19 to 23 GBP UK shelf price is tax rather than wine.
Mongris reaches the UK via specialist merchants rather than mass grocery, so importer margin sits on top of an Italian cellar-door price of about 13 to 15 EUR.
Dishes that complement this wine
Mongris pairs beyond the usual Pinot Grigio range: its body and minerality handle mushroom risotto and roast white meat as happily as grilled fish and shellfish. Vivino drinkers most often reach for it with shellfish, mushrooms and aperitivo.
The acacia, broom and golden-apple aromatics Marco Felluga draws from Collio bridge to cured San Daniele prosciutto, salumi and fresh cheese. Six months on the lees give enough body to stand up to an antipasto spread rather than disappear.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Gnocco fritto · Prosciutto di San Daniele · Fresh ricotta · More pairings →
Bright citrus acidity and a saline, stony line from the Eocene ponca cut cleanly through grilled white fish, prawns and squid-ink risotto. The wine refreshes the palate without the oak that would smother delicate seafood.
Try with: Squid ink risotto · Grilled sea bream · Prawns · Linguine alle vongole · More pairings →
Mongris is the rare Pinot Grigio with the structure for earthy porcini and creamy risotto, a pairing Vivino drinkers reach for again and again. Its lees-built texture matches the dish weight while acidity keeps each spoonful fresh.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Pumpkin risotto · Radicchio risotto · Risotto alla Milanese · More pairings →
Callmewine's sommeliers pair Mongris with white meats cooked simply, and the logic holds: fresh acidity and a faint almond bitterness cut the fat of roast chicken or pork without overpowering it. Keep the cooking plain to let the wine lead.
Try with: Roast chicken · Roast pork · Pork belly · More pairings →
The wine's freshness and gentle salinity balance milky fresh cheese and savoury egg dishes, two pairings the producer's Italian market leans on. It lifts a frittata or a slice of savoury pie that a heavier white would weigh down.
Try with: Frittata di maccheroni · Insalata Caprese · Savoury egg pie · More pairings →
Skip the big chilli heat and slow-cooked red-meat braises. Capsaicin flattens the wine's florals and makes its modest alcohol feel hot, while tannic, meaty stews simply bury a fresh, mid-weight white.
Skip with: Vindaloo · Sichuan hotpot · Beef short rib ragù · Lamb shank · Pairing guide →
This is a wine to enjoy young: unoaked and built on freshness, Mongris holds for three to four years from the vintage but is not made for long cellaring. Buy the current release and drink it while the acacia and apple stay vivid.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Unoaked, steel-aged and built for freshness; drinks best within three to four years of the vintage, so cellar upside is limited despite the structure.
£19.43 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · MediumMongris is a dry white wine from Collio DOC in Friuli Venezia Giulia, made entirely from Pinot Grigio. Marco Felluga rests it six months on the fine lees in steel, giving a structured, mineral style rather than a simple, neutral Pinot Grigio.
Expect acacia and broom flowers, golden apple and a touch of aromatic herbs, with a golden, faintly coppery colour from brief skin contact. The palate is fresh and structured with a long, almond-edged finish.
It works as an aperitivo and with grilled fish, shellfish, seafood and mushroom risotto, fresh cheese, frittata and simply roasted white meats. The wine's body and minerality let it handle richer dishes than most Pinot Grigio.
The grapes grow in the Collio hills around Farra d'Isonzo, San Floriano and Cormons, in the province of Gorizia. The Eocene ponca soil of marl and sandstone gives the wine its mineral backbone.
It drinks well on release and holds for three to four years. The 2024 carries 91/100 from Falstaff; both the 2024 and 2025 are best enjoyed within a few years of the vintage while the fruit stays bright.
At around 19 to 23 GBP in the UK it sits above supermarket Pinot Grigio, but the hillside fruit, lees ageing and consistent 90-plus critic scores from a founding Collio estate justify the step up.
