From this winery
  • Start up year: 1967
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Sandrin, Roberto Felluga
  • Bottles produced: 150.000
  • Hectares: 50
The Marco Felluga and Russiz Superiore companies are two prestigious wineries in the Collio region that find in their relationship with wine. Their stories began over a hundred years ago, in the second half of the 1800s, in Istria - what can be considered a true dynasty of winegrowers who have been able to exploit the potential of particular grapes and territories with a vocation for vines.

In the 1930s, after the First World War, Giovanni Felluga decided to move to Friuli and, more precisely, to Collio. Marco, the penultimate of Giovanni's seven children, continued the family business and founded the winery of the same name in 1956. To him, trained from a young age at the prestigious school of oenology in Conegliano, we owe the path of innovation, quality and research. The balance with which he combined innovation and tradition made his company a point of reference for the entire territory. Today, continuing along the path of absolute quality he traced is his son Roberto, who represents the fifth generation and now runs both estates: Marco Felluga in Gradisca d'Isonzo (Gorizia) and Russiz Superiore in Capriva del Friuli (Gorizia).

Story In the Friulian language, Col Disôre refers to a hill in the Russiz area. In 1648, during Napoleon’s reign, the territory was divided in two—the "Russiz Disôre" (Russiz Superiore), the oldest centre of the entire feudal settlement, mainly on the hill, and "Russiz di Sott" (Russiz Inferiore), mostly on the plains.
Origin Capriva del Friuli (Gorizia).
Soil composition Soil, consisting during the Eocene, of an alternation of marls (silts and calcareous clays) and sandstones (cemented sands).

Harvest By hand, usually the second decade of September.
Wine making After harvesting, the partly overripe grapes are separated from the stalks. The juice and pulp undergo cold maceration, then a gentle pressing to separate from the skins. Fermentation takes place in 15-30 hl oak barrels.
Aging The resulting wine is left to rest for about twelve months on the lees and one year in the bottle.
