Acacia, broom and almond: tasting Marco Felluga's Mongris
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.

- Taste profile
Marco Felluga's Mongris opens with the acacia flower and broom the producer names. Golden apple and a wisp of aromatic herb lift them. 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.
Six months on the fine spent yeast in steel build a textured, structured palate. Drinkers consistently call it fuller than typical Pinot Grigio. Ripe pear and apple sit over a salty, 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 stony saltiness. It lingers cleanly rather than turning broad or soft.
This is a benchmark Collio Pinot Grigio that earns its Falstaff 91/100. It also earns 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.
Buying Mongris Pinot Grigio in the UK
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.
How Mongris scores for food, value and ageing
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.
A respected Collio DOC from a founding estate with Falstaff and Gambero Rosso recognition; smart for an aperitivo or dinner, though a DOC white reads less prestigious than a grand-occasion bottle.
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.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that go with this wine
Seafood, mushroom risotto and white meat for Mongris
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.
Aperitivo, prosciutto and antipasti
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 →
Grilled fish and seafood risotto
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 →
Mushroom and autumn risotto
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 →
Simply roasted white meat
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 →
Frittata, eggs and fresh cheese
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 →
Fiery chilli heat and tannic braises
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 →
Cellaring Mongris: a few years, not decades
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.

Common Questions
Mongris 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.
