Its name originates from the toponym of the hills where its vineyards are located and has always been synonymous with quality and excellence. The eagle of Russiz Superiore, the winery’s emblem, comes from the coat of arms of the Torre Tasso princes—a noble family that arrived in Friuli in 1273 and ruled for many years over the lands where the estate now stands, boasting a history of over 700 years. The estate spans 100 hectares, 50 of which are dedicated to vineyards. The planting density is 6,000 vines per hectare, with a predominant focus on white wine production. Read more
