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).

Wine making After destemming, grapes macerates in large steel vats for a period that varies depending on the vintage. During this stage, delicate punch-downs are carried out to extract the noble components of the wine's taste and aroma.
