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).
